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. BeaglePig |

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 BT "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.
