Question: Senator McCain, 12 army captains recently wrote a nationally published op-ed calling for the immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq or the reinstatement of the draft. Given the increasing number of similar articles, how can you advocate staying the course?
Answer (paraphrased): He expressed his respect for the captains, as for all the military. He disagrees with the 12, and believes the majority in the military don’t agree with the twelve captains. He is not in favor of a draft. He said it takes the poorest Americans. He believes there is no need for a draft; that there are enough Americans to serve in the volunteer army.
