i havent yet read all the posts in the thread, but they are quite interesting...

anyways, as a person about to enter the military, let me first start out by saying i am completely against the draft. i believe that the current status of the US military with its voluntary status is a good thing, and helps both with morale (knowing the person next to you wants to be there, instead of being unsucessful in dodging the draft) and oveall quality for pretty much the same reason.

i have seen things and heard rumors about bush setting up things so a draft can go as soon as 2005 after elections. as for whether or not a woman should be drafted, why yes, i believe in womans equality, not for giving them special freedoms over other people (please dont even get me started on the rape shield laws in certain parts of the country)...but women can perfrom non-combatant jobs in the military, i believe some figure thats at least over 50% of the military doesnt have combatant jobs. not sure, but i'll check with my recruiter later.

anyways, those are my 2 cents with interest, and well, on a lighter note, no more school after tommorow, or today rather.....its sad to miss first, but i hope i can get back into the program someday.....

night everyone...
