Dumb ass George Bush dragging ex vets back in military!
 

Just read on yahoo news that George signed an order calling ex marines back to active duty for Iraq! This idiot is way out of control. Even my son is in danger of being put on active duty after he served five years.

why doesn't he sends his 2 daughters ?????

It's what the country wants. His poll numbers are recovering daily.

wait until he has no choice but to start up the draft another republican wont be elected for 30 yrs lol

Let the country send thier sons, mine has been there already.

that's what we said about his reelection, but here we are today :1orglaugh

The draft will be next for sure. I hate to see it. I have six sons.

Hmm so parents force their kids to goto war now eh?? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

we go into Iran, we dont have enough soldiers to go around. Some soldier is going to take the gov to court. They fulfilled their contract.

Don't look at me. I didn't even vote for him for governor.

ya know, that sucks and all, but it is the terms when you signup. they basically own you.

when they started it why not.lol It will be interesting how you feel if they start the draft back up and your ass is going to Iraq.

Yep my mom works with a woman who nealry 60 year old hubby was "drafted". He hadn't served in over 10 years and was just in the guard. he previuously had served in the regular armed forces like 30 years ago.

Yep no better way to scare of potential recruits is to have apolicy where if you time has been finshed for DEACDES you can still be FORCED to go to war. And yes it's FORCED. Once you become a civilian you are no longer have to listen to the military.

thats it...ive had enough

I bet most people on this board who are in the USA would be elgible if they start the draft up.

No, presidents show their conviction on the just cause ....
Anyway, with you, all that he does is fine and dandy ....


Why would Worldnet want to have his son in Iraq... For what purpose ? for how long ....

will never happen.

that was post numba 666 for you haha ...nice :upsidedow

Why its dont ask dont tell ,they cant not take you for that lol

What's ironic is that there are many many perfectly healthy homos that are willing to serve and die for their country, but are not allowed to.

Oh shit! I didn't notice that! Thats GWB's number!

just curious.. will you volunteer to go to Iran and Syria to defend freedom and spread democracy in the near future? Because you know they'll need good patriots like you to volunteer.. not enough troops right now to fight a 3rd world war..

Yep.

A couple more good terrorist threats between now and November will seal the chokehold.:2 cents:

They are all arm chair patriots lol

Crappy scenario for those who already served!

Obviously the new recruitment figures never added up too well - hardly a surprise.

Here's a press report...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5276938.stm?ls

Army recently discharged another critically needed translator. They'd rather die than have a homo translate for them.:Oh crap

More bloviating by the uninformed.....

When you join the Army or Marines, you make an eight year commitment. Depending on the contract, you may serve a certain amount of time on active duty, active reserves, or inactive ready reserve.

Irregardless of how much active duty time you serve, you are subject to being called up any time during that eight year period depending on need. After you complete your eight years, and get your discharge ( AND in the case of officers, resign your commission) then you are done..... They own your ass for eight years, and the contract clearly states that. I went through the Army ROTC program and they made the eight year obligation crystal clear.

The Army has been pulling people from the IRR for quite a while. This new move affects approximately 1200 marines. They will not pull people on year 1 or year 8 of their obligation

In summary, no one is holding a gun to your head in today's volunteer military. You are signing up for eight years. After you sign on the dotted line, don't bitch if they call you up for an additional tour of active duty.

Actually they didn't.

Standard military contract requires 4 years in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) after you're discharged from active duty.
During that 4 year period you can be recalled at any time for any reason the President sees fit.

While I think it sucks and I was never for this war, the only other option is to have the troops over there be stretched too thin which would only lead to more casualties.
:2 cents:

Yeah, I was in the Air Force and was 'Inactive Reserve' for 2 years after I got out..... glad this shit wasnt going on at that time. :Oh crap

You could always get kicked out for smoking weed. They will never invite you back.

yea they didn't smoke any weed in vietname...

Wait, is Bush the idiot, or are the people who signed an 8 year Marine contract idiots?

This is not true. When I signed up for the Marines, I signed up for four years - plus four years of "inactive reserve duty" meaning I was subject to being recalled at any time the US Goverment so decided.

Being as I got out of the Marines in 1990.... Kuwait.... yeah, I was a bit worried.

lol a friend of mine in High School used that to get out of the Marines.. He was all gung ho about being a Marine was all he talked about, then when time came to go he never showed up..

lol they came and got his ass and hauled his ass to where ever the hell they take Marines.. :1orglaugh but he was back within a few days because he told him he was gay.

Deeprub was in the military for years ... If they called him back.. I would have to injure him so he wouldnt have to go..
maybe cut off a few fingers, toes, foot.. break a few bones.. whatever..
he is not going back .

They may have a better time recruiting new soldiers if they weren't busy raping women.

Because they did not enlist.

I wont' add to what already has been said... IRR (Individual Ready Reserve) is 4 years after you done your time, generally 4 years standard.

As a Veteran, I feel for our troops during this time. Desert Storm was not a protracted war, this is truly the "Vietnam" of our generation. :(

read between

we are getting ready for iran

the lines

If they bring the draft back peoples daughters will be going to Iraq too.

Think about it. If the government doesn't draft women you can bank on some asshat taking them to court to ensure that they do.

That's the main reason why the Pentagon would prefer to stick with an all volunteer army...... if possible.

The other day I took my flatmate's 70 something year old father who was in the British military to a military museum in our area (Woolwich Aresenal). He had a ten minute conversation with another man his age that also served. A good portion of their conversation was about how once you served you were alwaysin the military and how even at their age you shouldn't totally rule out being called up again.

I have always thought women should be in the draft too and that included myself when I was 18. With equal rights comes equal responsibility as well.

Everyone wants equal rights. Until everything is equal, that is.

....Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant......

seriously?
homosexuals are not allowed to serve for the US army??

Don't blame Bush. Blame the ppl who voted on him....

:thumbsup

Much like freedom of speech :winkwink:

I was in the Marine Corps, did my 4 years active and waited out my 4 years IRR too. Thankfully, that ended in '03. That and I've got a disability %.

But, believe it or not...even with a disability %, I'm still only tier 2 of the draft. If it comes, excuses or no...most of you are eligible and most of you will go.

Damn right.

The straight guys don't want any poofters staring at their asses in the shower room :2 cents:

Looks like my son will dodge this. He is in his seventh year, and they are not taking people with one year left. Bet they would like to get there hands on him, because he has been taking arabic classes at Columbia University.
