Return of the Draft?
As most of America knows, Representative Rangel a Democrat from New York is going to introduce legislation to re-instate the draft. He tried this before and failed. He even voted against it.
Mr. Rangel feels the draft would make the Bush Administration think before sending troops to war. Here is what he quoted.
"There's no question in my mind that this President and this administration would never have invaded Iraq ... If, indeed, we had a draft and members of Congress and the administration thought that their kids from their communities would be placed in harm's way."
How would conscription solve that problem? I do not see how forcing people into service is going to deter wars and sending of troops overseas.
I am open to all questions and comments regarding that.
The US military is all volunteer and has the best technology of any other armed forces in the world.
President Bush and the military oppose conscription.
I do not think the draft is a good idea. The military has made its quotas. Plenty of people are enlisting on their own. The men and women who enlist are doing it voluntarily. No draft card or lottery is needed.
Many people oppose this legislation and I predict this will never pass.
Also, contact your congressmen/women and senators and tell them you do not support this legislation!
Let your voice be heard!!!!

I think since we all know that President Bush doesnt support this crap AT ALL, he must be the ONLY one who can stop these loones from getting this passed.
President Bush is the Top Commander of our Armed Forces, and I'm pretty sure he is the ONLY one who can stop this Crap!
But it will be interesting to see what you dig up!
I'd like to see another post on this or an add on to this one.
