Should I register for the draft?

That's not really relevant to my point in response to justmeinoz's question about why the US needs a draft given its current military, given that Ford did not end the draft and merely changed the draft procedures. :-\ And even if it was relevant, that doesn't mean being a democrat means you can simply ignore the opinions of people who disagree with you, nor would it have much to do with why the draft continues to operate now while Obama continues to push for other controversial changes in the US military that presumably matter more to him
I'll give you credit in that I didn't know about the historical lapse in the selective service system and that I learned something new, but I don't feel like it invalidates my argument here.

I would say about six million Jews annihilated by the Final Solution, and all those who survived, would disagree with you that "war ... solves nothing."

at the same time, i don't think any one of them had told hitler to be the demonic being he was.

I thought this thread was a joke so checked it out. After all, can't go disagreeing with the opinions of six million dead people.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_Service_System There's an interesting section on Failure to register.
