My generation isn't here for either side's political battles.

My generation shouldn't be sent out to die so either side can prove a point.

Not everyone in my generation votes- does everyone in your generation vote?

Not everyone in my generation cares as much as they should- does everyone in your generation care?


Who honestly thinks that rich people won't be able to prevent their kids going to war, to die?

I seem to remember reading that our dear pResident got out of it...

How many of you who support the draft have children my age? How many of you have siblings that are my age? What would you be sacrificing if a draft was put in place? Anything?

Or is my generation nothing but so much fodder to you, so long as your side eventually wins?

Sometimes I wonder, if a draft wouldn't change some people's minds. But then, I only wonder. I would never vote for it or take the thought seriously. Nobody should be sent out to die for the wars of old men who won't sacrifice anything. Let alone to help someone's side in the political arena.
