Do you think draft registration, but not the draft, should be re-instituted to be better prepared in case of a national emergency?

I believe there SHOULD be a draft. But I say that with some cynicism. First, every one that qualifies should do their duty to protect our country. Maybe the discipline and honor would prevent some of the younger generation to avoid the rampant violence that has become so common. By the same token, that training could be used in violent gang warfare. It looks like basic training isn't the same as it was during my time. It's too Politically correct. It was a lot tougher, and DI's had more options to keep us recruits on the straight and narrow. It wasn't fun, but it made me a better and more responsible person. I salute all those men and women who have volunteered, but they are being taxed to the limit. I'm also sure that China, North Korea, Russia and Iran are very happy with the shape our military is in.

Great idea! Identify the enemy within.
