Sorry to answer my own message, but it just occurred to me that Americans have no problem slaughtering other races on an industrial scale. Vietnam and Basra (Gulf war I) spring to mind as examples.
Thnkfully as the author says, they don't like to lose their own children or die themselves. That's why the Pentagon doesn't want a draft.
Am I right in saying that some of the biggest protests (quite correctly) that led to the end of the Vietnam war came from those most directly affected (potential draftees) ?
