Since no one in that age group is in Congress, save a few House members maybe, who is there to protect me? This is like your parnets telling you you have to join metal shop or something I honestly be no draft without proper representation in congress.

It's been that way since way before I can rememeber and it will always be like that. I really don't want an 18-year-old representing me in Congress OR the Senate. They haven't been around long enough to be able to represent like they should. It isn't their fault, but with age comes wisdom.

On another note I have thought hard and long about whether I would go into the service or not. I'm still undecided but I know I don't want to be on the front lines being shot at. While I believe true peace can probably never be achieved and you must fight for freedom I would rather be helping those on the front lines than actually be on the front lines. If I went anywhere it would probably be to the Air Force as a computer programmer or something.

If everyone felt the way you do, there would be no soldiers on the front lines for you to help and support. They'd all be computer programmers or something. What about the guys who were on the front lines defending your freedom and way of life? Aren't they worth remembering and fighting for?
