If by "support the troops," you mean, "bring them back," yes.
If there's a draft, I'll be relocating to Canada. I'll be damned if I'm going to risk my life for some idiotic reason like an invasion of Iran.

I have said for years when you get out of high school you should go into the military for 2 years an right now we do need the draft we do not have enough men to fight on 3 fronts so get on with it the right way an end this war there is no need to put ground troops in SYRIA OR IRAN just bomb them 24/7 for 90 days an then put troops in to make sure they all are dead war is hell

dang you guys don't know nothing about the military.there are plenty of people willing to join up and fight the crazy muslims ok . trust me ive been in iraq 2 times im retired navy.the other thing is there will never be no draft yes the media would like to scare you into thinking this but the milatary left itself other options . for example anyone that served 4 to 6 year in the milatary and just got out when the contrat was up are obligated to serve in the inactive ready reserve.theses guys dont drill they are just there on stand by . then you also have almost half of the reservist that havent even sat foot in iraq. this war isnt nothing of course the media is gonna say it is but we will kick some muslim but so that they wont come here and strap on bombs and kill innocent americans again

Let the remaining white-haired, over 50, or bald headed, over 60, 6-week vacation taking, BS talking, no decision-making members of Congress, the Senate, the remaining neocons, the president and his cabinet, including Condi Rice and Bush daughters and Laura, fight the fight in Iraq. There will be no war in Iran. That is unless we want to see the end of Israel. And I don't believe we do; at least Bush doesn't.

a military draft will be needed if the USG keeps making WMD's...it will need exploited citizens to use these weapons on other nations' troops and civilians if they are going to maintain the ultra profitable military/industrial complex...a draft wont support any troops..just the perpetual hoaxsters and makers of war....they'll have their names plastered on edifices and warships while the victims of their ignoble acts will get a flag draped coffin, a rubber stamped condolence and contract to serve longer than the conscription contract

I dare somebody to spit on somebody who has served our u . s . a ., in front of me. i'm going to desire money for bond after however. to those that say they kill women human beings and toddlers, it particularly is often an accident. extra women human beings and toddlers are killed by the suicide bombers than our protection rigidity. yet you're able to bear in mind, some infants are additionally scuffling with for the insurgents, attempting to kill our troops. The Iraqis are so barbaric of their scuffling with, and thinking.

Of course they have PTSD. That goes right along with being at war. I would never support the draft. I don't believe in killing anyone, and especially not over oil.

I don't supprt the draft because I wouldn't want to be counting on someone to have my back who doesn't want to be the the military anyway....Rarefind seems to have misdirected his sarcasm to neocons, Condi, and the Bush family...perhaps he doesn't know that Representative Charles Rangel, DEMOCRAT FROM NY, said he would introduce legislation to reinstate the draft.

Rejecting war for good is a better answer. There are diplomatic ways to deal with conflict and invading countries is not a good justification for a draft. America needs better leaders with bright ideas. You game?
