US pilots soon to report their skills?

No Republican President has instituted a draft since Abraham Lincoln during
the Civil War. Democrats, however, cannot imagine fighting a war without a
draft. John Kerry has frequently accused the Bush administration of having a
secret plan to reinstate the draft. There is no question that, if elected,
Kerry would push for a draft to 'resolve the current crisis.' He would blame
it on the Republicans, of course. The only bill currently before Congress to
reinstate the draft is sponsored by Democrats. Democrats have a long history
of proposing such measures, including drafts for 'peaceful' purposes such as
the Peace Corps. This is in keeping with the historical and philosophical
origins of the Democratic Party, which was founded to protect the rights of
slave owners and to represent slave states. After all, if everyone is the
slave of the US government (which they frequently allege), then what is
wrong with private ownership of humans? This philosophical view is the
foundation for Democratic positions on everything from trade unions to the
right to bear arms to taxation, and it is why Democratic 'intellectuals' are
basically aristocratic elitists.

The Prez stated in the last debate.. there is no draft.. we need people who
want to be there and are technically capable to handle the "modern" tools...
not just 1000s of grunts with guns

There is legislation for a draft, sponsored by (Democratic)
Congressman Charles Rangell. It has a very few (Democratic)
co-sponsors.

Recently the Republicans tried to bring the bill up for a vote, so as
to put paid to the (Democratic) rumors that Bush would bring back the
draft in a second term.

The Democrats accused the Republicans of playing politics.

Well, so it goes, in Disney World on the Potomac.

Just think about this for a minute: if there were a draft, who would
train the draftees? The entire (volunteer) U.S. Army would have to
stand down, be retrained, and then dispatched to build and staff the
training centers. It would take a year, minimum, and in the meantime
we would have no army for any other purpose.

This rumor has been very popular on campus for two years now. As soon
as the Good People realized that we were going to war in Iraq, they
began promising their students that they would soon be drafted. That
they were proved liars in 2002 hasn't stopped them from retreading the
same lies in 2004.

Well, it seems that during most of our shooting wars we haven't had a
republican president. And during the one we did have one, he didn't
do anything to stop the already existing draft.

Just so it may shed some light. The proposed draft bill by Charles Rangal(D)
NY failed miserably in the house last week by a vote of 402-2. There will be
no draft, it was just a bunch of lefties trying to make a mountain out of a
mole hill. My ex wife even got the email from the leftist group saying Bush
was going to draft kids! My son asked me about it and then said , well I
want to go to college , but I will be a marine first if I have to, if not
I'll get a degree and then be a marine officer. Really proud of that young
man,....no chicken ****s in the Dixon Clan. Wish this country had alot more
young people like him.

They WANT to be in the guard/reserve, or at least that's what they wanted
when they either signed up to begin with, or took whatever
promotion/college grant/etc. that got them there in the first place. While
many may have had the impression that the guard or reserve was a free ride,
nobody twisted thier arm.
