The weakness of the anti-war movement

[pms]

I havn't had time to catch up with this thread yet, but the other day on
Ted(Mr. Liberal) Turner's right-wing radio station, WCNN-am, a
guy(conservative) was pushing to reinstitute the draft.  He was against the
war in the Balkans, and contended that the only way you were going to get a
strong anti-war movement would be if and when the children of the affluent
and middle-class were dying.  And I thought, gee, you know, he's probably
right.  And I saw the Vietnam thing in a whole different light.

BTW, I wonder who started the push for a draft back then?  Could they have
considered that that would be the beginning of the end?  Of course, they
couldn't have considered Henry Kissinger's career ambitions.
