Please, please, please get off your high horse, would you?
Do you honestly think that young people don't want to go to Iraq because they are scared, lazy and chicken? Could it possibly be because they don't support the war in the first place? Do you think that if people were called to serve, they would be lazy cowards in combat (or, to be more precise, do you think there would be more lazy cowards than in any other conflict?)
Stop it, ok? Honest policy differences are one thing, but this kind of attitude is really counter-productive.
