So, now we've got a draft. I'm remembering why I never bothered with citizenship back home. More trouble than it's worth.

[Locked to friends.]

Anyone get picked?

If we want to be recognized as having equal rights to everyone else here, it's only fair that we should end up included.

[breakmychest]

Only equal if the non-Outworlders have to do the same thing. In the same garrison.

[loisfuckinglane]

The draft is hardly Outworlder-only, I'm sure.

[breakmychest]

Guess you've got more faith in our beloved republic than I do.

[loisfuckinglane]

Or I just recognize that wartime necessitates a need for soldiers.

[breakmychest]

So what's wrong with some good old fashioned propaganda posters?

[loisfuckinglane]

Citizens are rioting because they're unhappy with the government, Spike. Do you really think recruitment numbers are at a peak?

[breakmychest]

Do you really think citizens will be happier when the government forces them into the army?

Something is rotten in the state of Coruscant, and this will only make things worse.

[loisfuckinglane]

The alternative being the Galactic capital falls to the Sith?

[breakmychest]

No, that wouldn't be good either.

[loisfuckinglane]

Well then, somewhere along the line, we've got to draw a line in the sand.

[breakmychest]

This is why I don't bother with politics or being a citizen back home. More trouble than it's worth, and I don't like any of the sides.

[loisfuckinglane]

And here I thought it was the 'you're a vampire' thing.

[breakmychest]

That too. Sort of makes it all seem a bit less urgent when you've seen everything change permanently a few hundred times.

[...it's a bit like bing a comic book fan.]
