Let me change it by saying "Would George Bush still support the war if one of his daughters chose to enlist and fight on the front line?" (as far fetched as that would be!)

LOL. You really think that they'd pass the drug test?

Wouldn't happen
First we have no real draft.
Second the NSA would not allow a presidential family to join.
As for draft you might think of forced poverty on devastated community's as a form of draft.
I'm not much of a Michael More fan but his segment on military recruiting in Flint Michigan looks like the High-school students don't have much of a choice. Join the Army or move to a 3rd world country and try to find work.

Well, your questionis ridiclious for several reasons. 1st, women are not drafted, men are. 2nd, we do not have the draft. 3rd, they are in college and would get a deferment.
But aside from all the improbabilities necessary for your question to be valid, yes he probably would. They being women would not be assigned to a combat grouping, and would probably work out of Ramstein as logistical support for the deploeyed troops.
Of course, since your question assumes the ridiclious to begin with, let us say that they are also sent to combat. Yes, Bush would still support the war simply because we are past the point of no return.

Ahhh, the beauty of America. The rich don't have to go to war because they have the moola! One of his daughters would never be drafted because the right people would be paid off. It's the poor Americans that are expendable and replaceable. When was the last time you knew someone in the military that was wealthy? The poor go to war and die and the rich benefit with war time profits. America is such a grand 'ol place! Send over your poor, we need them for war fuel.

IF we had a draft, I would see no reason why his daughters wouldn't be drafted. They have already finished their schooling. But the fact is that we have no draft, and haven't had one since 1973. Why on earth would you want the presidents daughter in your company. Your commanders boss is the President. Not good to yell at the kid. I could just see secret service kicking someones *** during hand to hand combat training if they threatened her. I think it would be less management hassles and headaches if his daughters served in another capacity. The military isn't the only way to serve this nation.

the important be conscious you used replace into deliver. The armed provider are volunteer. possibly they do no longer sense that they are sturdy adequate or could desire to pass the PT try? look, my husband will complete his 20 - 26 years (reckoning on rank) and he has talked with the two one among our infants. He does not want our daughter everywhere close to the armed centers and particularly frankly neither do I. I genuinely have lived on a number of bases and function seen the crap that is going on. some women folk are created from harder stuff then others. What we tell our childrens is that in the event that they pick to connect the protection stress they want an coaching first so as that they are able to connect as an officer. we'd the two help our childrens in despite they pick to do despite if those selections are not ones that we'd have made for them. So my longwinded answer is they each have a option to make or have already made. like a number of be sure we attempt to help our infants despite if it conflicts with our suggestions of what they could desire to or shouldn't do. Being President does not recommend that he can drag his infants to a recruiter and lead them to enlist to any extent further then i could desire to drag mine. They fortuitously have the liberty of determination.

Well, the war would've had to have gone to drastic measures, seeing how NOBODY enters the military by force. So, he probably wouldn't be happy if we were back to using the draft....but I think it's silly to think we shouldn't be at war right now. That would open the door for ALL terrorists. NOBODY in the military has been drafted, they entered BY CHOICE!

no-one is "suddenly drafted".. a draft has to be approved. if he did approve of the draft, it is a reality that I'm sure he would have to face. he does not support war. no politician with half a brain or one decent adviser wants a war. it is not popular, right or wrong. these people do need to get re-elected you know! (not W, but his party needs a good image.)

If you assume it was necessary to implement the draft AND include women...
Yes. He started the war based on his belief that it was for the right reasons. One thing he is not is a hypocrite. He would say how proud he was of his daughter choosing to fight despite having been drafted (I said he wasn't a hypocrite, he still believes in spin.)

Yes! Dubya basically dodged the draft - I'm sure he could find a way for his daughter to do the same with the money and power he has now.
