Would You Allow A Draft After Another Terrorist Attack?

bump

I think if you ran a poll you would see people between the ages of 18-24 would be against the draft more than those 25+.

How can anyone in their right mind be for the draft in this war on, Weapons? Terror? Saddam? Iraq? Iran? Extremists? What ever they are calling it this week.

If freedom costs lives I wanna know damn sure we are getting what we are paying for.

Most likely "the draft" will be set up by conscription, just like Israel.

Plenty of warm bodies coming out of high school to..."do their patriotic part to serve their country, murder the evil-doers, and die in the sands of Iraq".

The older folks of the national guard with families/children will be a sore spot for the federal government if they keep dying. Nobody likes to see orphaned children.

As long as foxnews tells the sheeple they need to send their kids to die, excuse me, be patriotic, the parents will throw their children to the fire, for fear of being called "un-american" by sean hannity...

If you have children, or know someone who does, you may want to share this video/site:

OPT OUT of your school's military recruitment lists and the Pentagon's illegal database.

Of course I don't have the power to "allow" or "not allow" a draft after another terrorist attack. I pretty much have no choice but to go with whatever our leaders say. I don't think a draft is necessary... our leaders will just offer the young poor of our country enough incentives to enlist and risk their lives for their family. College grants, hazard pay, etc.....

considering the real terrorists are the government conspirators of 9/11, my answer would be no. the only terror in this country is false-flag terror.

wow, you couldn't be more right.

in fact, that bill has already been submitted to the house....

Restoring the Draft: The Universal National Service Act of 2006

Editor's Note

Congressman Charles Rangel, a Democrat (NY), introduced on 14 February 2006 a bill in the US Congress which requires:

"all persons in the United States, including women, between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform a [two year] period of military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes."

The bill applies to both US citizens and non-citizens, to men and women. There does not appear to be a provision which would exempt women who are pregnant and/or caring for infants/children in a young age.

While there was some media coverage of Rangel's initiative prior to the formal introduction of the bill, the matter has not been mentioned by the US media since it was introduced in February. There has been a deafening silence: since February 2006, not a single article or editorial has appeared in print on the Universal National Service Act of 2006.

Just curious Jon when was the first terrorist attack?

OUR UN-NAMED NEWBIE CAN GO FUCK HIS SELF ! HE IS OBVIOUSLY WITHOUT A CLUE ABOUT THE TRUTH OF THIS WAR MONGERING, MURDERING ADMINISTRATION.

GET LOST - FUCK FACE

thats right. Then you cowardly, lazy, hippy, Unamerican, Fuck stains can go find something else to bitch about. I'd like to build a time machine and send a couple of million of you people back to the start of this country and you'll see the truth. ......And another thing radiation doesn't always exist in a nuke. most bombs of that magnitude are just atom splitters.

Wow, well spoken AND a rocket scientist! I'm sure you're long gone from here. (Good ridance) I tried to rejoin after 911 (before I woke up). It gives me shivers to think that I could have been there for round two. I have a brother and kids old enough to serve over there. If they tried that shit all this non-violence crap would be right out the window. Military service in a free country is voluntary. Luckily there is no shortage of morons like you to go there to be cannon fodder. I guess your too old to serve yourself, but I'm sure you have offspring in your mobile home that you can send in your stead. I hope you have succumed to prostate cancer since that lovely post...

Did I miss something, was someone banned?

Not that I know of... It went like this. Chana posted on this thread, and I read back to where the above quoted jerk-off origionally posted. And I kinda got caught up in the moment, and started cursing him out event though I'm sure he's long gone.

Bush War Adviser Says Draft Worth a Look
Aug 10 06:25 PM US/Eastern
By RICHARD LARDNER
WASHINGTON (AP) - Frequent tours for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have stressed the all-volunteer force and made it worth considering a return to a military draft, President Bush's new war adviser said Friday.


"I think it makes sense to certainly consider it," Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute said in an interview with National Public Radio's "All Things Considered."

"And I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table. But ultimately, this is a policy matter between meeting the demands for the nation's security by one means or another," Lute added in his first interview since he was confirmed by the Senate in June.

President Nixon abolished the draft in 1973. Restoring it, Lute said, would be a "major policy shift" and Bush has made it clear that he doesn't think it's necessary.

The repeated deployments affect not only the troops but their families, who can influence whether a service member decides to stay in the military, Lute said.

"There's both a personal dimension of this, where this kind of stress plays out across dinner tables and in living room conversations within these families," he said. "And ultimately, the health of the all- volunteer force is going to rest on those sorts of personal family decisions."

The military conducted a draft during the Civil War and both world wars and between 1948 and 1973. The Selective Service System, re- established in 1980, maintains a registry of 18-year-old men.

Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., has called for reinstating the draft as a way to end the Iraq war.

Bush picked Lute in mid-May as a deputy national security adviser with responsibility for ensuring efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan are coordinated with policymakers in Washington. Lute, an active-duty general, was chosen after several retired generals turned down the job.
