McCain and the Draft

Do you see a pattern developing here? Do you really want your sons and daughters, or husband and wife, brother/sister to be drafted into endless war? I don't. It'll be more of the poor man fighting the rich man's war. This is what you get with McCain.

At McCain's Town Hall Meeting in Las Cruces, NM, 8/20/08

AUDIENCE MEMBER: "If we don't reenact the draft I don't think we will have anyone to chase Bin Laden to the gates of hell."

JOHN MCCAIN: Ma'am let me say that I don't disagree with anything you said...

During a town hall meeting in Derry, New Hampshire, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told a crowd of roughly two hundred people that it “would be fine with” him if the U.S. military stayed in Iraq for “a hundred years“:

Q: President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years — (cut off by McCain)

McCAIN: Make it a hundred.

Sen. John McCain told a crowd of supporters on Sunday, “It’s a tough war we’re in. It’s not going to be over right away. There’s going to be other wars.” Offering more of his increasingly bleak “straight talk,” he repeated the claim: “I’m sorry to tell you, there’s going to be other wars. We will never surrender but there will be other wars.”

McCain did not elaborate who the United States would be fighting. But he did warn the crowd to be ready for the ramifications of current and future battles.
