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 . Patrick "Peter Duniho" wrote in message ... "Bob Noel" wrote in message ... No, no one did.

the legislation for the draft is always on the shelf, right next to the
plans to invade canada. "Cub Driver" wrote in message ... 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. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com Viva Bush! www.vivabush.org |

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. mike regish "Cub Driver" wrote in message ... This rumor has been very popular on campus for two years now.

"C J Campbell" wrote in message ... 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. |
