He's kind of right though.

And that was a message coming from someone whose family can be assumed to be relatively priveleged. How much cooperation will the draft man be met with in, say, our nation's black ghettos?

Our problem is that our leaders have not fostered the necessary unity to actually prosecute any sort of war that requires "all hands on deck". We can't just say, "they have bad attitudes." (Well, we can, but then we'd be foolish in the extreme to go to war with China over Taiwan. It would be Vietnam all over again.) We have to find out why that guy/gal's family feels dejected, and address those issues. We've made so many people in the US feel like they're not part of the team that it's actually become dangerous as the world enters this new, unprecedented, and more precarious phase.
