The Military-Industrial Complex take-away from Viet Nam is they can't just 
create a war for fun and profit if so many are affected -- directly or 
indirectly through the Draft.

Those who  oppose U.S. Military adventurism should support reinstating the 
draft, I think -- only this time make sure it's escape-proof <g>.
