No, no one did. However, someone did twist their arm to get them to

well beyond their expected commitment.


who?


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

Uh, okay...


I made no claim. You claimed that someone did arm-twisting.
So, who was it?

You ought to tell that to the kid being interviewed on the news the other
day with his face blacked out. They don't "force" them, but if you don't
think they can coerce a confused kid into signing up, you must be on a
respirator because you're too naive to breath.


That is a vastly different experience than that of the active-duty
and guard people I work with....

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.


Oh, the one where he stopped sending draftees into combat?

So we'll still keep recruiting the poor and inner city youth, who we have

no
other use for anyway.


Um...the one's who can't operate any equipment more complex than a boom box?

In any case you might look up militray recruiting records, then remove your
foot from your mouth.
