Yeah, the jackass who started spamming it out in emails sure rattled everyone. Why are people so gullible?

Bush said all we need to do to get back our forces is redeploy our troops stationed in old Soviet locations to the hot zones in the Middle East and we should have enough. Regardless of what anyone says, the Soviet Union is not going to swing back up and invade Europe. They are useless sitting over there, we need them where they are needed. I'm pretty sure they know that too.

IF I was PRESIDENT...and I mean right now, then I would start a military training for high school graduates, just in case because better be ready then sorry

and just in general about the draft, all of those guys would be sleazy


mod edit:In the future, do not post back to back

only if threre was a REALLY big war.

That guy is onto something.

I was drafted in the US Army in 1968 and then took an extra year to get into the MOS I wanted, as far as the Draft in todays society I would not count it out, but it would take an Act of Congress to re-instate the Draft

never EVER EVER want to serve in the millitary.

No. It's an election year scare tactic brought to you by the Democratic Party.

Could you explain that?

I think that the draft is good for society, a person can learn alot from military service, if they are willing, an unwilling participant will only be a thorn in the military and they will likely take away the wrong messge.

I am going to say that 90% of the people drafted are going to be unwilling.

as for The Other Guy, the believe he does not want to serve in the military. The military is not for everyone.
