I don’t feel a lack of hope. It’s just disappointment that after all these years we’re still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people Picture Quote #1

For years, I was compared to Wookiees, especially after I did the ‘Star Wars Holiday Special.’ I have some photos of me with a few of the Wookiees on the set, and it’s hard to tell us apart Picture Quote #1

Since we replaced the compulsory military draft with an all-volunteer force in 1973, our nation has been making decisions about wars without worry over who fights them. I sincerely believe that reinstating the draft would compel the American public to have a stake in the wars we fight as a nation Picture Quote #1

There are very interesting books about these events, for instance one by a very well-known American historian named William R. Polk called Violent Politics. It’s a record of what are basically guerrilla wars from the American Revolution right up through the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq Picture Quote #1
