Well, I think I understand your statement just not how it relates to my comment. All I'm thinking of now are pomegranates. Yum!



Edit: Wait...That makes me sound really gay, doesn't it?
Well...Um..That is bit out of loop...maybe, but to the point. Maybe this whole volunteer /conscription thingy is bit of a cultural thing? I am by no means expert of US Federal law, but in your legistlation there is that war time draft, is it still there? So basically at war time some of your population can be forced to arms based on some conditions. That happened last time in Vietnam? So basically a menacing selective fast forward mandatory military service, which still does not apply to all male population? Maybe some of the Americans might clear this thing up a bit, as to me this very thing seems to be what is making "conscription" a curse word in American mindset. About the paid volunteer army. Isnt a "paid volunteer" bit of an oxymoron? Basically any career soldier in any country becomes a paid volunteer when he is not anymore part of Mandatory military service.
