In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Prepare yourself to fight

The government will be calling for you soon. The war in Iraq is going poorly, and our army is tired and in dire need of rest. Two weeks ago, one of the army's generals said the army needs three years to re-equip, rest, and re-train. Even the National Guard is fighting over there. So it's only a matter of time before Congress reinstitutes the draft. It's actually been proposed twice in the last two years (for everyone between the ages of 18 and 42!). That's how government works. They keep introducing a measure, it keeps getting shot down, and just when you think it will never happen - there it is - law!

Read the House bill in its entirety here. And this time you can't get out if you're in college like someone could during the Vietnam War.

Better start doing more tricep and bicep work so you can toss those grenades far. Or brush up on your driving skills - I hear those tanks are hard to maneuver.
