Absolutely not.....never. We shouldn't be defending any country other than our own.

I think this is a scary thing, letting Americans join a other country's military.

You don't seem to get that Jewish does not equal Israeli.
Israeli does not equal radical Israeli.
There's a strong peace movement in Israel.

Oh really? Maybe you should let the Israeli's know that. They themselves define Israel as their GOD given JEWISH state.

Thank goodness we had a draft for Viet Nam.

We wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes with a volunteer army.

They don't need our help. Their troops have always been the top of the line.

If those wars where just about those country's themselves i would not support them but since they were part of a larger war agienst the spread of communism that was a threat to the U.S. I think the draft was ok in those cases.

Glenn Beck could have been broadcast in Vietnamese and stopped the spread of communism.

Its not just about skilled troops, In world war II the Germans also had well trained troops and better equipment but they had limited resources and were overwealmed by numbers. I think Israel would meet the same fate if the U.S. was unwilling or unable to continue giving military aid.
