Some writers sit down without a thought of what they are going to say, and they go through draft after draft.
There is a point in every contest when sitting on the sidelines is not an option.
A draft doesn't produce the people we need to satisfy our real manpower shortage. We need specialists to keep our jets flying.

I do not care whether you're a Democrat or you're a Republican or an independent. We must pull for the people who are wearing the uniform of the armed forces. These people weren't drafted. They enlisted, because they believe.

They also serve who only stand and wait.
