Should all women suddenly be made eligible for the draft just so Bush's daughters can be put in harm's way? If he had a male child or two could we leave his daughters alone or would they still be included?
Since we're doing it as a punitive measure, and since we're willing to change the standard to that end, why bother waiting until they're draft age? Why not just take
all their children?
What about the children of politicians who oppose action? What if those children are actually pro-action despite their parent's leanings?
What if the children of pro-action politicians are actually anti-action? Should they be drafted just to punish their parents despite their personal beliefs?
What if the kids or the politicians aren't completely sure of their position, should we only draft them for part-time service?
My this is becoming confusing...
Personally, I think that terrorists, in their attempts to make political statements, should only be allowed to kill the anti-action crowd who couldn't tell and/or wouldn't admit that something is truly about national defense even if a suicide bomber was standing in their front yard, and of course, it's
only fair and just that all their kids should be made targets as well. In fact, we should include all their immediate families as well with no age limit just to make the point.
**PC NOTE** For those who may have missed it, the final paragraph is sarcasm.
