[/quote] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This. The politicians are so far out of touch with the mindset of typical young people it is baffling. I am not talking any particular wedge issue, but the overall mindset. They know the USA is literally crumbling, and on top of it, they each owe $50,000 for the "gift" of being born here. These are not 1940s era doughboys/girls. The USA is not going to be able to fight its way out the 2012-2015 dustbowl, much less depose 3rd world governments half way around the world. [/quote]

US lawmakers warns cuts may revive military draft
A key US lawmaker leading the fight against military spending cuts has warned that dramatic new reductions could force the United States to shift from an all-volunteer military and reinstate the draft.
House Armed Services Committee Buck McKeon, a Republican, told Fox News television on Monday that lawmakers "need to understand what it's going to mean to keep an all-volunteer force."
"Do we want to reinstitute the draft? Some of the cuts we're talking about would take over 200,000 out of end strength from our military,"
McKeon said in remarks also reported in the Washington Post on Tuesday.
THEY CAN GO FUCK THEMSELVES.
