I only caught a tale end of a discussion Chris Matthews had on his show today regarding re-instating the draft. He had 2 Iraq War vets debate the topic. Did anyone catch the show today?

I think this is rather significant that a MSM show like Hardball is bringing the topic to light. It could also be that Matthews has some vested interest in the subject matter - 2 draft age sons.

Here are some comments on Chris Matthews website - as one might expect the pro draft posters are either women yacking about universal service ( as though their generation ever had that onus) or Vietnam War vets who want others to suffer the same loss of rights and limbs and opportunities that they themselves had suffered.

If we're going to have a draft; we need to prioritize...draft the sons and daughters of Congressmen and women first...sons and daughters of CFR members...sons and daughters of members of the current administration...sons and daughters of the controlled media, ESPECIALLY sons and daughters of right-wing talk radio hosts...sons and daughters of registered Republicans. THEN maybe we can get around to drafting the sons and daughters of 'plain folk'...if there's any need for them after drafting those already mentioned.

Sure- and then those sons and daughters of the DC connected - when drafted- end up pushing paper in air conditioned trailers well behind enemy lines and their big "war story" is about how once a mortar shell exploded 4 miles away from them- or organizing USO shows or "commanding" military run golf courses (there are over 200 US military golf courses world wide right now).

The day when the sons of the mucky mucks actually put themselve in harms way is long dead. No one but rubes and dopes believes in the necessity of these wars and that who is fighting them (along with simply those trying to escape poverty and get some security in their lives- which the military provides).
