Peace Takes Courage
How many more must die? Will it take 57,000 like it did for Vietnam or shall we somehow stir the American passions to get the chimp and his cronies out of office.

1. To tell you the truth
I think the death toll will surpass what we lost in Vietnam, and the civilian casualties will be even worse.

If nothing changes in November, the dying will continue, and as for American passions, it would seem that not many Americans have a passion for anything except "So You Think You can Dance"!!!!!

2. It will stop when Joe and Jane Yuppie
see their boy Justin shipped to Parris Island instead of Princeton, in other words when the military comes to the Upper Middle class, then there will be demands to stop. But I hope maybe regular Joes would chip in, but until the pain comes, its flagg waving time.

3. A Draft Would Allow The War to Go On For Years, Like Vietnam
It was when the draft ENDED that they had to end the war.
They could not possibly recruit any more cannon fodder.
