60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll: January Edition

• Reinstating the military draft in the U.S.

Two thirds of Americans oppose reinstating the draft, including 76 percent of those closest to draft age (18-34). A majority of Americans that served in the Armed Forces (56 percent) however, favor reinstatement. They know better than most that when Americans of all stripes have a stake in a war, that pressure from families and friends keep the politicians and the generals more honest about getting us out of unjust wars faster.

[TampaBayTed]

It's scarey that 11 percent said yes to killing your for a million dollars. They must be Republicans.

Hell yes, bring back the draft, but conscript EVERYONE, male and female, into some kind of national service. And no passes for politicians' or the well-connected's offspring or their friends either. I was around for the Vietnam draft and signed up for it but was not "chosen." The draft will surely put a damper on the United States entering willy-nilly into just any old war, and make service more equitable.
