When I was growing up finding out someone was a "Draft Dodger" meant they were a selfish coward.
I realize now how much that was a propagandized mindset. If you can't muster an army, then obviously the people aren't behind your desire for war. What is more democratic than not entering a war that your people are unwilling to fight?
I think most of us would stand together to defend our homes, our neighborhoods, our states, and our borders if called upon. But to trust the perverse men who run this nation to value human life and righteousness more than their Raytheon stock is a bridge too far.
If they get their long-awaited war with Iran, I strongly suspect we'll lose. I think the Muslim world is stronger than the Post-Christian West. Even Russia with its tiny GDP wasn't quickly crushed like we were assured they would be.
