OK, that's true. It's anti-war as well as anti-draft. My main issue was that she was saying that being anti-draft is the same thing as being anti-war which is the same thing as being anti-military. I disagree. As you say, they kind of go hand in hand, but it is possible to be one without being the other two.

I think what bothered me so much was that she was so caught up in being defensive about the military (her entire family is a military family: her brother and two nephews as well as her husband) that she completely missed that there was so much more going on on that stage than "anti-military propaganda". And she followed it up by saying that she wouldn't let her 6 year old see it until she was 48 -- not because of the nudity, but because of the liberal, anti-military message. *twitch* To which I could only think, "You're so afraid of allowing her to see other points of view in action that you'd keep her away from such a 'liberal' show until you had her so thoroughly brainwashed that she'd never see it for what it really is?" That left me a little speechless because I really didn't expect it of her. :(
