My husband and I are both retired Navy and the oldest of my 3 sons is in the Navy now. I loved my time in and the benefits have been wonderful.....but, a war time draft would scare me too. I try to be supportive of the nation's policies but it is hard to see the sense in letting our young people get killed without any obvious progress. I understand sacrifice but I am not seeing the end benefit, the higher objective.... I won't bad mouth what I do not fully understand.... but on the other hand, I cannot speak in favor of it either. I will remember all of our service people AND those in public office in my prayers.
I fervently hope the draft measure goes nowhere but more than that, I hope the current conflicts are brought to an end with at least some progress towards a more peaceful and less dangerous area of the world!
