Told you guys, Military Draft on the way....
Like this is gonna be a suprise to you youngins. WWIII is in effect but off to a slow start. So now you're gonna be asked to give your life for a buncha nazi asswipes who can't keep their noses out of other people's business.
I should be happy realizing all the good pussy that'll be here allllll alone while your dumbasses are off getting your dicks shot off. ------ www.drudgereport.com STATEMENT FROM REP JOHN P. MURTHA [D-PA]: I have learned through conversations with officials at the Pentagon that at the beginning of November, 2004, the Bush Administration plans to call up large numbers of the military guard and reserves, to include plans that they previously put off to call up the Individual Ready Reserve. I have said publicly and privately that our forces are inadequate to support our current worldwide tempo of operations. On November 21, 2003, a bipartisan group of 135 members of the House of Representatives wrote to the President urging an increase in the active duty army troop levels and expressed concern that our Armed Forces are over-extended and that we are relying too heavily on the Guard and Reserve. We didn't get a reply until February 2004, and now as the situation in Iraq is deteriorating, it seems that the Administration will resort to calling up additional guard and reservists, again with inadequate notice. |
What age does the draft go up to?

I think I'm too old to be drafted (30). If all hell broke out then I'd probably volunteer anyways. :2 cents:
|
not sure the age but I am glad that I served my years if it does happen there are going to be a lot of unhappy people

Of course a draft is always on the list of "options" for the Pentagon. But so is invading Canada. I won't believe there's a draft until someone who doesn't have a vested interest in using it to scare young voters says there is going to be one. :2 cents: |
Hmm.. Didn't read anything about the draft being re-instated.. Just sending those that are already in the military .. National Guard.. Reserves.. yada yada...
Nothing about drafting civilians into the military.. |
If you're a doctor or some other highly needed specialties you can be drafted up to age 55. The Doctors Draft Act expired in '73 and has been replaced with the Health Care Professionals Delivery System.

Let's see what happens when the Bush supporters on GFY are drafted :)
|
What some people fail to understand is that IF the draft is reinstated then there would have to be a reason why.
Regardless of what Bush did to get us into this mess, we're in it! We can't just apologize and back out. We have pissed off a lot of nations and a shared enemy is the glue that will bond these countries together. Whe helped build so many alliances between countries that you would have never imagined because of what we did in Iraq. What's done is done. The main reason I don't want to see the draft reinstated is because if it does happen, God help us all because we're going to need it! |
I read about this before. I doubt it will happen. If it does though everybody will be scrambling for Mexico. You can't go to Canada because there is some sort of agrement that Canada has with the US that says they will send you back.
I wont worry about what hasn't happened yet. |
Please show me anywhere in that pile of useless shit, where it says there is going to be a draft, or where it mentions the draft.
You are a fucking moron. :321GFY |

During World War I there were three draft registrations. The first, on June 5, 1917, was for all men between the ages of 21 and 31. The second, on June 5, 1918, registered those who attained age 21 after June 5, 1917. (A supplemental registration was held on August 24, 1918, for those becoming 21 years old after June 5, 1918. This was included in the second registration.) The third registration was held on September 12, 1918, for men age 18 through 45.

AC-130 are kick ass.

Well the drudge report says so. Right. I believe that.
When cnn says something then you've got a bit of a more reliable source. :thumbsup |
A draft doesn't make it World War III. World Wars are a different matter altogether. But yeah, a draft sucks, and we all saw it coming except for those that hang on every word the President utters publicly.
You'll also find that most of those keyboard Generals so vehemently in support of the war will be the last ones who will want to be drafted. They're happy to have "America" fighting but they don't want to be directly involved...lest they get killed or something. |
Sorry, even I've been brainwashed. I meant to say those who are in favor of the Invasion... instead of those in favor of the "war".

Glad I did my 8 years of active duty, was in Kuwait for Desert Storm, and I feel for the guys over there for this one. But like someone else said, if all hell broke loose, if they'd take a 37 year old guy like me, I'd join back up.
|
Did I miss something here? The little bit that I read said something about calling up reserves but nothing about a draft.

It's all about scare tactics. Giving the newer "high tech" nature of our military, the much longer training cycles, the physical condition of our couch potato 18-35 year olds, and the relative ease with which judges would grant Conscientous Objector status... not mush point to having the draft. With each war, the draft has become less and less of a useful tool for the US military. |

it was in the papers months ago, no more deferments or other bullshit like run to Canada. You just go and that is it.

If I remember right, they already did their dealins with Canada on that one to prevent people from dodging if they do another draft. (anyone know what I'm talking about?) |
