"and they might die."
OK, if you see our society 'practically' just letting people die, that's not remotely realistic.
Why? If some moron wants to smoke or some idiot drive his motorcycle in rush hour traffic with no helmet and those people die I could care less. Seriously. Why should tax dollars or increasing my medical insurance costs occur. **** that guy who is infringing on my wallet. Society needs to let these people die so that more people will learn their lesson. Hell, I never wanted anybody to pay for my actions when I was doing crazy stuff.
And as I told Mac, the draft is still legal and it's only wishful thinking that allows people to say 'it will not happen again.' We dont know.
I am not mac. It could happen again and if it does I pray somebody challenges it and SCOTUS makes the correct and Constitutional Decision and repeals draft laws...
As for voting, do voters know or not know that war is a Congressional and sometimes executive decision? They should.
It is an Executive Action for only 60 days by order of the War Powers Act. That is why things like Grenada and Panama occur. Then it requires Congress to fund and legalize continuation.
It would take a new draft to happen before anybody would vote on that issue, really.
