How many of you will actually join the fight should the draft is reinstated? Any volunteers?

I sure wish they would, but usually they prefer someone else to do their fighting/dieing, just like Dubya and Cheney the warmongering draft dodgers.

That's a fair question.
I do support the war - in general - because, sooner or later, we will have to stop this demented ideology. The Islamic radicals' demand is clear:
You will convert to Islam - or you will die.
I don't like either option, and I'm sure you don't either.
The acts of war - and they are acts of war, and not criminal acts - that have been perpertrated against Americans around the globe since 1979. And, up until the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, it was a one sided war due to our total lack of any effective response. We paid the price for this inaction on 9/11, and there's no logical reason to believe that we wouldn't still be paying the price we had failed to react.
We must not allow the terrorists' tactics of mudering and maiming thousands of innocent men, women and children to continue - not for another minute. And, agree or disagree, it is far better to take the battle to them rather than in the streets of our towns and cities.
As regards your question, I'm too old this time (I am a Viet Nam Vet 1968-69)

Not only is it currently volunteer only so asking if anyone would volunteer is a little redundant, but the AF is currently turning away people for very little reasons and "force shaping" people out...a draft will not be reinstated. It's kinda silly to think it would...

wow dems sure do know their military lol. if the draft IS reinstated then yes, everyone will join and fight, it is no longer a choice. however, the only people calling for a draft are democrats for their own political reasons, I already joined after 9-11 and re-upped after the iraq war. So yes, one volunteer right here. will you volunteer for your ideological heroes who kill your countrymen?

They could volunteer now if they wanted, were between 18 and 42, a high school grad and had no criminal record. That probably disqualifies a lot of these "answerers", don't you think?

I don't support the war, so if I were about to be drafted I'd try to pull a Bush or Cheney and "cut and run".

No one 'supports the war in Iraq.'
We support living up to our responsibility given that we removed such stability as the Iraqi people had.
As soon as they can responsibly tell us they don't want us any more, I'm for getting out of there.
