Message | So when we are in the brink of capitulation you would still be against conscripting people? |

Message | Basically, yes. If people refuse to take up arms to fight off an invader, its there deal. But that's not the issue. In times of serious national emergency I might be for a draft. But in times of wars overseas that don't directly affect the fate of our nation, I'm against a draft. |

Random quote: "I worked at a factory owned by Germans, at coal pits owned by Frenchmen, and at a chemical plant owned by Belgians. There I discovered something about capitalists. They are all alike, whatever the nationality. All they wanted from me was the most work for the least money that kept me alive. So I became a communist." - Nikita Khrushchev |
