The Med Draft, Cont’d
I’m not sure how my comments (“I don’t mean to be overly alarmist, as the plan is only that-initial planning-just in case Congress would ever authorize a second draft.”) were interpreted as “ sky-is-falling ,” or fearmongering for Kerry (did I ever mention Kerry or Bush?) , but apparently what I thought was cautionary concern turned into “Graham freaks out.”
In fact, I know perfectly well what military doctors do , as my father was a physician in the Air Force, and one of my other physician heroes was a medic in World War II. But I’m sorry, I don’t see this war as the same as World War II. There wouldn’t have been soldiers and Iraqis wounded (as well as tens of thousands killed, many collateral damage ) if we hadn’t have invaded Iraq.
I’m fully aware that the draft legislation failed with almost full support. But it’s more than just rumors on the internets .
