As can be expected from our Liberal brethren, a senior member of the incoming, democratically controlled, congress is calling for a military draft to be instated.

I, for one, distinctively remember the Dems using the prospect of a draft as ammo in the 2004 presidential race. Seeing this new development, I am actually shocked with myself for not noticing the absence of such rhetoric during the 2006 congressional elections. We now see why. But, I must say that I do believe that every male citizen of the U.S. should be required to serve in the military for at least 2 years. I believe this would give today’s youth a better sense of responsibility and pride in their nationality. My question is this. First, what are your thoughts on required military service? Second, what are your thoughts on this newly proposed draft? And third, how do both make you feel?
