Draft with no deferments
No medical deferments
No college deferments
No "my daddy is a millionaire" deferments

If you are in college, we will use your expertise. If you have a medical problem, we will find a job to suit your assets. If your daddy is a millionaire you will be put to the head of the line.

Draft will be based on family income. The greater the income, the greater the chance you will be drafted. You will be sent immediately to Iraq after an expedited basic training. When your body is returned to Dover AFB in Delaware, no one will be present to record the event.

WOULD SUCH AN AD IN USA TODAY HASTEN THE END OF WAR?

ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE VOTE WITH A PAPER BALLOT.

1. As a 16-year-old who opposed the war...
I say that the price is too high.

5. Gays would certainly be subject to a draft
I think it is totally asinine to exclude a segment of the population from serving their country if they want to; but if their drafted so be it. Lets see, men and women onboard ships together and men and women in combat together, but no gays! I find many things wrong with those pictures and I served for 24 years. I'm not gay but I served with many who were good sailors and shipmates. Good gays, bad gays, good straights bad straights. The sex angle is total nonsense and the powers that be know it.
