Can't totally blame draft-dodgers. If I were to have been drafted in WWII I probably would've fought. Would it have been near-suicide? Probably. But I would have believed in the cause.
Vietnam, OIF, I don't believe in those causes. Is it good we got rid of a terrible person? Sure. But he knew how to run the country, however heinous his methods were. And we went in based on lies (poor intelligence my ass), went in without any asking for help from the Iraqi people, went in to spill the blood of thousands of civilians, and lose the blood of 3,000 American lives who didn't deserve to die in a cowboy's war.
That's probably why people would dodge a draft if it was instated now. Because they don't believe in fighting a lost cause. I respect all servicemen, but please don't say the 'protecting our freedoms' stuff. I don't think Iraq was ever a threat to our freedom at all. Afghanistan neither, but the Taliban was a threat as they had links with al-Qaeda.
But enough of that, that's for another topic. Sorry for putting this into a topic meant for servicemen of the militaries of any nation to show their dedication to their country. I'm proud of what you've done for us (if you're an American serviceman) and I'm sure you guys from other country's militaries have support from your own people. Hooah, oorah, Go Navy, and whatever the Air Force says (A bit embarassing that I'm such a huge AF fan but don't even know their cheer =p ).
