Honestly dont see that as having any affect on relations. But I do see it as providing fodder for those in Canada who alreay hate the US.assoholic said:..I am not sure it is worth the price to piss of the States to let them in again. They would just drag us deeper into the mess.

Let them in, I'm sick of being one of only 20 million or so carrying the health-care burden. Another couple of million tax-payers would help.
Have to agree with OTB....onthebottom said:There will not be a draft so the flow will only be a handful - not an issue.
OTB
I'm not sure if I agree with this. Given the declining numbers of those people that are not re-enlisting I can't see how the US will be able to sustain the levels they need to continue the various "projects" they have on the go, even with the redeployment (from Europe) that is to happen.Manji said:Have to agree with OTB....
Unless North Korea decides to mount a war on South Korea or Mexico invades Texas, The draft isn't going to happen any time soon.

My first inclination would be to agree with you that those who dodged the draft were cowards. However, when i think about it some more, I am not so sure...
If Canada Martin suddenly decides that we are going into the Iraq war full force and they are going to draft any able bodied male under the age of 40, into the army. I am quite sure that I would not be going to war. If that makes me a coward in your eyes... so be it..
I am willing to lay down my life for Canada to protect our great country. I am willing to lay down my life if Canada decides to get involved in conflicts like the Ivory Coast etc to help innocent people.
I am not willing to die for Mr. Bush's place in history. I will not blindly follow along for a cause that is highly questionable. My name is slowandeasy and I AM CANADIAN.
