Hey Paulette;
there is a misconception that those of us who oppose the war, oppose the people serving. I find it quite the opposite. I'm the one trying to save their lives.
I was listening to a draft debate the other day. A lot of people want the draft with no exceptions. Their logic is that when we had a No exceptions draft, that's when we had the most peace because politicians children were serving side by side with everyone else.. My beef is with George, not his family, so I hate to bring them up, but do you think we would be going to war if George's daughters were on the front line?
I did enjoy your poem, thanks for sharing.
