    A volunteer force. It’s not up to a president to tell people what they’re willing to fight for.

      You must be joking? How does a volunteer force work when dictators forcibly recruit whole armies and march into your country? Living in a democracy where you can comfortably post your thoughts on the web requires sacrifices. If we were to count on volunteers to fight wars there would be no free world to live in. And we would probably all be speaking German today.

          Is it more immoral than letting a murdering dictator dictate and murder in your home?

        If drafts were considered an international war crime, countries would be afraid to use them lest everyone else pile onto them.
