| Since we have the word police now, how long will it be before we have the thought police? | |

| Yes, in our post 9/11 Amerika, words can get you in trouble, thoughts will now, with the NSA, DIA, CIA, FBI, ICE and hundreds of private companies monitoring our emails, cell phones and credit cards | |

| During the Vietnam war, there was the draft and it was a leveler of sorts and brought some form of democracy to the military. Which is exactly what the general do not want. | |

| Yes, the it was the protests by the GI's against the war in Vietnam that the chicken hawks could not suppress or marginalized. It was these GI movement that the General staff wanted to eliminate | |

All Volunteer means their rights to object to a war are compromised
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Early in the war, the phrase, "they volunteered," was used to discredit any thought of protest by our serving soldiers in the war. Cheney, a great draft dodger in the 60's, used this phrase early on. | |

| The silent marches of the Vietnam Veterans against the war were a nightmare, and now the Iraq/Afghan Veterans do not have the same effect, because of that phrase | |
