Time to Spread the Pain

It is criminal that we have let a few bear the burden for our wars. These broken soldiers who have been deployed three, four, and five times to the wars are suffering from stress disorders, brain injuries, wounds, and death. If these wars are truly legitimate and are making our country safer, we should all be required to bear the burden. The politicians are fearful that a draft would put the war into all our lives and finally bring the people to judge whether they believe these wars are worth the cost. No deferments for the wealthy. Maybe when rich children start coming back in body bags, things will change.
