McCain on reinstituting a military draft: ‘I don’t disagree’


Thinkprogress:

Today at a townhall meeting, an audience member praised Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for his vow to “follow bin Laden to the gates of hell.” After a long question about veterans’ care, the questioner said she believed we needed to reinstate the draft, to which McCain seemed to readily agree:

QUESTIONER: If we don’t reenact the draft, I don’t think we’ll have anyone to chase Bin Laden to the gates of hell.
[Applause]

MCCAIN: Ma’am, let me say that I don’t disagree with anything you said.
