Supports military draft, if needed, but not needed now

Description of Position: I do not support a military draft unless we are provoked. I will defend this country as your Senator by imposing the draft if need be. I will pick up arms myself if need be. So although I don’t really support the draft and I don’t believe we need one anytime soon, I will not go on record against the draft.
