I already did my time (six years in the USN)...
Let Dubya and his cronies, or better yet, their kids, serve on active duty on the front lines as enlisted infantry soldiers - then they may not get us into all the shit that they do, or at the very least, they will take action to stop needless deaths and injuries.
The all volunteer military is a disaster. Look closely at who is dying in Iraq - Disproportionately kids from rural areas and poor inner city youth that don't have very good employment options.
The draft is not much better, since the children of the Dubya's, the Cheney's and the Rumsfeld's, can all find deferements or loopholes to keep them out of harms way if they wish to, just as their father's did for them.
If I felt this country was in emminent danger, then I would enlist and serve again, even if I were not required to. Unfortunately, at times it appears that some in our own government pose the greatest danger to the people of this country.
