Question
Hi Dennis,
I know that both Kerry and Bush have very clearly stated that under their jurisdiction there would be no draft, but how would one counter the fact that our military is being stretched to its limit, with 90% of our active duty troops deployed overseas? How do we plan to fix this without a draft?
Thanks for your time,
amanda
Dear Amanda,
You have a good question that I really don't know the answer to. With technology advancements, perhaps more can be done with less people. I do hope the Lord returns before long, but however worse things get, God does know the future and our part can be worthwhile when we live in sync with Him.
Sincerely,
Priscilla

I have time for you. The Bible has been my guiding light for most of the 56 years of my life. My missionary parents in Brazil kindled a love for God`s Word by their example and their love for truth. The Lord has blessed my husband and me with responsible, independent children who love and serve the Lord and are our best friends. I would enjoy discussing any subject or problem from a Biblical perspective. I know the dangers of government entitlement mentality, the dangers of homosexuality, abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, gun restrictions, pacifism and environmental extremism.
Experience
My husband and I are active in local Republican politics and I've served on a Right to Life PAC.
