draft

From Iraq The Model. Items in parentheses are disputed language. My take is that the mention of Islam is too prominent in the language, but that is tempered with a decent enumuration of human rights. I would be, I suppose, very tempted to vote this draft down because of that language, but I...

In spite of promises by the Bush administration (read his lips . . . ) it seems as though the only way for the U.S. to maintain current troop levels is to either A. suspend military discharges, B. get out of Iraq or C. reinstitute the draft. Apparently military recruiters are having a tough...

..then shouldn't we be allowed to have a vote on this, if they ever reinstate the draft? On Bill O'Reilly today, he said that he could see that there could be a draft again, under certain circumstances, like if the situation in Iran and/or North Korea were to escalate. So, if we are this...

... when you've got kids?

It looks like the draft is back in the leftist kook circles as a conspiracy theory. Check out this piece and the comments on my favorite fringe site, democratunderground. Forgive me for not thwacking the right wing kooks so badly but their black helicoptors and new world order garbage was...

The lastest draft rumor is that the govt would draft doctors, cause theres such a shortage in Iraq. Can the govt do this? Draft people based on their job. Has this been done in the past?

A horrible thing, the draft. Makes for a bad army. There really is no good reason for it. There is an attempt to get it started from time to time. I believe the thinking is that if politicians had their own kids drafted into the army, they would be less likely to run off to war. Experience...

I dont get how people can be for the Iraq war and then freak out whenever someone brings up the draft. Actually I do get it, people are OK with the war cause it has no effect on their lives. They dont particuarly care about the soilders fighting there, after all "they signed up." Can you wave...

So, I'm talking with some local teens, and they are telling me all about the "new draft". Supposedly as soon as Bush is reelected, he's putting in place the new draft. Rumor has it going likethis.... Males and females a treaty with Canada so they will return draft dodgers no college...

I have been thinking long and hard about Kerry's latest tactic. He will go out and declare Iraq a quagmire (indirectly but he insinuates it so hard that I invoke the Moore decision) and then to either declare that the remaining reservists and guard will be called up or have the draft mentioned...

In another thread, http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45800 , about halfway down the first page, someone suggests, apparently seriously, that Kerry was a draft dodger using the logic that "Kerry fits into the draft dodger category as well. He didn't serve a...

In recent weeks, I've been hearing about the draft being reinstated. Part of the problem, it seems, is that we can't keep troops in uniform, because of falling morale. Permit me to tell you of my eldest son's experience. This might clear up some of the confusion some feel. While I realize...

The notion of a draft keeps coming up, recently from senator Chuck Hagel. Given that people are already being drafted involuntarily, I suggest that, in the name of accuracy, it's about time that the words surrounding the debate shift from "should there be?" to "who else is elligible?"

I read this in today's copy of The Guardian, a reputable British newspaper. What is your take on it? (It's quite long but worth the effort) John Sutherland Monday May 31, 2004 The Guardian Last Wednesday, the American public was officially instructed to panic. Attorney general John Ashcroft...

I was looking over the online version of the latest issue of "Time," which is available on CNN.com, and I noticed an article that asked whether the draft should be reinstated. There were a bunch of short position statements from various people. In general, about half were military professionals...
