Editor: The Mountain Press:
Where were you and what were you doing when Zachary Salmon died in Afghanistan?
Before sending our military off to war "we the people" should insist our government show the military enough respect to declare war. Then those of us left behind should "feel" the war. A draft should be initiated to include men and women up to age of the oldest person engaged in the war. Additional taxes should be implemented and rationing should begin. We should pay as we go. If we cannot pay for it now then we should not start wars. Our current practice of sending our military off to die while we continue life as usual is at the very least insulting. When our military is sent to war every person living in the United States should share the pain.
