Gee, Robin, are you stuck in the ’60s or what? There’s no draft to get a deferment from. The way to keep your children from being sent to war is to keep them from enlisting. Also, let’s say that two hundred thousand soldiers have been rotated in and out of Iraq over the years. Of that number, 4,000 have died there. That means soldiers going to Iraq have only a 2% chance of dieing there, and that’s over five years. The odds during a 12 or 15 month deployment are even less. If we’re sending people to die, this is a lousy way of getting it done.
