I'll ask again... did your mother have any children that lived?
In the best Sam Elliot impression I can muster: "You're a special kinda stupid, ain'tcha?"
A draft (WWII being an extreme exception because we were attacked) is technically unconstitutional. After 1972 we have prided ourselves on having our military be an all volunteer force. I look at that as a good thing, because there are about 60-75% of people I graduated high school with that I don't think would ever cut it in any of our armed forces. I'll ask again, have you ever served in the military?
