US Democrats want military draft
 

whadda surprise there. lol

Fuck that shit, I'm flat-footed.

at 1st i thought it was a ploy when the dems were the minority but rangle seems at least somewhat serious

well it's kind of a silly way to do it, but the rationale is that lawmakers would have to think about their own children possibly serving before they vote to spend money on war in the future.

sounds good to me

Already did my time :frenchman

I bet the idea behind that is , they start the draft the public will put alot of pressure on the president to get out of iraq.

Bush will go to his grave before he stops his private war.

its just another shot at the class warfare dems try to perpetuate. If they can't create class envy and unrest, they can't hold power

Rangle had an ammendment for a draft two years ago and he voted "AGAINST" his own ammendment !

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh Yeah, that will convince him. Give him a bigger army, then say, "you can't use it though."

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The scary thing is that some might think this is logical.

When your daughter is called to serve in iraq or someones nephew then the rah rah stops really fast. For war we have been asked to give up nothing, the attitude is its a volunteer army they want to be there but a draft changes that.

And you don't think that is sending a mixed message, increase the available military while at the same time insist on withdraw?

Sorry, but people these days are idiots if they think that is going to happen.

As I recall, during Nam, we slowed the draft down to force a withdraw.

If I was president, and you gave me a bigger army, I would think you were telling me to kick their ass, then get out.

I see your point, it all sucks at the end of the day. Both parties today are like what bag of shit do you want.

I actually read the entire article....

1) This is not the first time this Democrate has tried to the get Draft back - he has tried several times and failed.

2) This is very much a ploy to get the public opinion even more against the war and to put even more pressure on Bush to bring the troops home/redeploy/etc.
