Your claim is that extensions to military tours of duty have all been
voluntary?

Uh, okay...

You miss the point , the extension of military duty, IS THE MILITARY. When
you sign up it is there in black and white on the piece of paper the
volunteer signs. If they do not agree with it , then do not sign it , and do
not join. If you sign well then you belong to the military .

the legislation for the draft is always on the shelf, right next to the
plans to invade canada.

I have serious doubts about someone's sanity if they honestly think that
there is going to be a draft soon. Talk about radical

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.

So we'll still keep recruiting the poor and inner city youth, who we have no
other use for anyway. It's not like they'll ever be spending daddy's money
or anything.

He would blame
it on the Republicans, of course.

And it would be the republicans fault for dragging us into this ********.
Afghanistan is NOT spelled I-R-A-Q.


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?

You really are a couple beers short of a six pack.
