No, it would put your son or daughter at risk, but not your CHILDREN. They would have the vote. You have your vote. Use it.

It's not their kids who are going over there. More importantly, it keeps the kids for having to pay the price for their parents decision. It wasn't their decision. > We would be a lot more careful of who we elected if it could be OUR > family or friends who could be put in the mix. I don't subscribe to your theory because I've known women in "battered wife syndrome" and people who constantly bitch about various problems but refuse to attempt any kind of solution for them because they prefer the devil they know. If I have any choice in the matter, these people will not be making crucial decisions that might put my children in physical danger. Although you might convince me that the public at large will spend more time thinking about these decisions, you won't convince me that they will necessarily make better decisions as a result. > Plus, not all service need be military, and not all military service > is dangerous. It just seems like that right now. Saying that not all military service is dangerous is the same as saying you can bet on poker because you won't always lose. The last I checked, once you were enlisted, the army sent you where the army wanted you. If you don't want to risk your life, that's your tough shit, because you're in the army. Would mandatory conscription change that? It's possible, but I'm not interested in entertaining that possibility any more than I'm interested in betting everything I own on a bluff with a busted flush. s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:204004 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
