    Default An interesting quote

    “The nation that will insist upon drawing a broad line of demarcation between the fighting man and the thinking man is liable to find its fighting done by fools and its thinking by cowards.”

    —Sir William Francis Butler

    What do you think of this quote?

    Do you think any nation has fallen to this?

    Probably not, but the risk was present when the Vietnam draft allowed for college exemptions.

    the draft is a bad idea all-around. I hope we never find a reason to reinstate it

    The draft will only be reinstated if we are caught up in a war with a major nation that we did not start "preemtively". The US will never again see a draft for proxy wars like Vietnam, imo.
