"Re-Instate The Draft!!"

Saw this meme on Facebook today and it made me think...SHOULD we re-instate a mandatory draft in this country??  A little HISTORY here...

Back in the 60s when I was a teen, you could be DRAFTED at age 18 but you could not VOTE until you were 21. The war we were engaged in at the time (VietNam) was very unpopular with MANY (not all) younger people, and so was this system which said that an 18 year old could not VOTE for which President might or might not be their Commander-in-Chief, if and when they were drafted.

MOST young men served their country honorably, as best they could, but others fled to Canada (or TRIED to), to avoid the draft.  (I, myself, did NEITHER....I was never drafted and I never FLED.) By the way, ***Thank You to ALL who fought for their country and endured much unwarranted abuse when they returned home...IF they returned home ALIVE, that is. We owe you a debt we cannot repay.***

Back to the HISTORY part.  At some point, young people had the voting age LOWERED to 18 so they could at least vote on who their President might be if they were drafted...but then the mandatory DRAFT was done away with!!  It's now VOLUNTARY, and you don't see these kids who can't bear the thought of moving out from mommy and daddy signing up to go OVERSEAS!!

The result is we have (as the meme says) snotty-nosed kids able to VOTE for the future of this country, but not required to SERVE it in any way now.  And, mind you, these spoiled brats are much DIFFERENT than the WORST of the young people from 50 years ago!! Stupid as some of us WERE at age 18, we were at least smart enough to know there were only TWO genders, for example. You looked between your legs and you figured it out, unlike these confused dummies TODAY.

Most (not all) young people today are LOST today, not just spiritually but MENTALLY, sad to say.  There are exceptions, but AS A RULE these teens today would fail a basic intelligence test if they had to take one BEFORE they voted.  Take away TECHNOLOGY and ENTERTAINMENT and, like Sgt. Schultz from "Hogan's Heroes," they know "Noth-ink."

Let's wrap this up.

IF THE VOTING AGE IS GOING TO STAY AT 18, FINE.  Personally, I think making young people wait to vote till age 21 again would be a better idea, but I fear that will never happen again because the Democrats DEPEND on naive people (like MOST, not all 18 year olds are) to keep them in business.

BUT IF THE VOTING AGE WILL STAY AT AGE 18, LET'S BRING BACK A MANDATORY DRAFT FOR 18 YEAR OLDS.  As the meme says, let's teach those kids about LOVING our country (instead of HATING it) and WHY we are free!!  Let's get 'em OUT of those Liberal colleges where they are being indoctrinated to hate this country and its heritage and INTO a structured, disciplined, military situation where MAYBE they'll learn some things their hippie parents aren't teaching them.

You see, MAYBE if  we'd re-instate the draft many of these traitors-in-the-making would flee to CANADA, and make AMERICA a better place, by doing so!!
