It's really simple. If you support the war, then you should have no problem enlisting, or having your children enlist into the military. End of story.
So by your standards, if you don't go to the war you're not supporting it? That's pretty much a draft. Hasn't happened for a while buddy.

Bzk, how is what I said, in any way, similar to the dreaded draft?
The draft is a way to *
force* individuals to fight in a war. Agree - disagree with the war, doesn't matter...if you get drafted your ass belongs to the military.
IMO, If you're able to serve your country, and by this I mean being *healthy* (healthy by the military's standards) enough to serve in active duty, and you agree with sending others your age, or younger, to risk thier lives in a war which you support - then you should be willing to risk
your own life as well.
What, do you think you're better those in the military? You think you don't have to fight in a war you wanted?
Send off the poor, the 'bottom of the barrel' of society to fight in
your war, while you sit comfortably on your couch, demanding that
more be sent into Hell (Iraq). Pfft...you take an simple position in this. It's much easier to demand violence when you're relaxing in your recliner chair, a can of coke in one hand, a bag of chips in the other.
If you
support the war, fight it.
