No, because there will never be a draft. Your kid will never be sent there, and if you think he will, you're hysterical.
I am not thinking like a DINK. You are. The middle class in this country worries about money. The war impacts their vote, but it is not the driving force. I don't know anyone who even talks about it outside this board. Perhaps that's a poor reflection on my friends, but most of them seem more taken with trying to chase their kids and make financial decisions than they are with our geopolitical future. When it's discussed at all, it is always in the abstract.
I worry about keeping two business ventures afloat. I don't worry so much about Iraq because, frankly, nothing is going to change there regardless of who we elect.
