reinstating the draft?
 

Did I miss something? One of my friends told me that they were probably going to reinstate the draft? Does anybody know anything about this?

I heard they were only reinstating it for people in KC.

one of your friends is an idiot

FUCK!
I dont know if im just not up to date or if he is talking out of his ass, come on some one let me know

Unless there is going to be a big ass war, there will be no draft

Glad to hear that, thx cyber ninja

us army is huge,we dont need a draft

thats what I always thought but I havent been watching the news because I think bush is an ass and I dont want to be mad everyday. My friend told me about the draft being reinstated soon and I was like fuck, I wouldnt put it past em. Googled that shit, got nothin and figured I better gfy that shit

I didnt think so, because I know a lot of people in the reserves that havent been called up. Then again, you never know

If they do I hope they draft all the hip hop fans first.

if they start the draft up ill go,i want to kill people and not get busted.

Bah, there have been low rumblings about the draft being reinstated in the US for at least two or three years now, maybe more.

most reserves are already called up :2 cents:

i'd gladly fight for my country whether i signed up for it or not..

Kerry tried stirring that shit up last year and it was a total fucking lie. Unless the USA gets attacked by China or Russia there won't be a draft.

Yes rumblings of a draft... But a new draft won't be the same as previous drafts

No republican can stay in office and implement a military draft. Remember the 1960's???

So there currently are plans for starting a "NATIONAL SERVICE" in place of a draft to keep the democratic party happy. All US citizens (boys and girls) age 18-27 would be eligible for national service

National service would include military services along with social services. Military services would be voluntary. So you could choose if you want to join the army or be in a social service. Social services would provide nationalized health care workers, teachers, environmental engineers, city planners....etc

Both parties like it. The right wing gets a big nasty military and the left wing gets their happy communist superstate..

It will probably be implemented after another major 9-11 type terrorist attack.

Or maybe I'm just full of shit

full of shit or not...
choices= a +
in my book, didnt expect that

if we go after north Korea I am betting on a draft, but I wouldn?t worry about the draft for Iraq

The problem is you don't have a choice.. you have to work for the government. It's a sinister attempt to create a police state

I don't think there will be a draft unless we attack N. korea or Iran and Iran turns really ugly. Right now you could say that there is a " back door draft " going on. The army is calling up people that have been out of the army for a while but are still considered on inactive duty. Also they are calling up people who should not still be in but are due to technicallities like them not properly filing the paperwork etc. They are also lengthening the amount of times soldiers stay in iraq or how long the guard are called up.

They are doing this because we are running a little low. We have a ton of soldiers, but they are spread all over the world so we are scraping around to find people to occupy Iraq. As Iraq starts to govern itself we will slowly start to move our forces out but if a major conflict with Iran or N/ korea starts up we could potentially see a draft.

as for the national service thing I have heard of two versions of it. One is like mokingbich talks about, another is enacting something like Isreal uses where everyone 18-22 ( or there abouts I'm not sure of the exact number ) is required to serve at least 2 years in the military. They don't have to be a soldier, but they do have enlist. Make no mistake, if something like this is enacted this is worse than a draft because you don't get a choice you have to join. And you know that most people are not going to want to join the infantry so the non-combat spots will be hard to get.

just my 2 cents

1. You dont read/watch news because you would get mad? Idiot.
2. I hope there is a draft so half you dumbasses leave this biz.
3. Now I feel like the dumbass for replying to your hippie paranoia thread. Ugh.

nah no draft anytime soon unless something real drastic happens like WWIII.

No he is just a stupid moron like many on GFY spewing stupid theories without a shred of evidence.....

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh


Ah i wish i could live a simple ignorant life just like you and see the world through ruby-coated glasses with nothing to worry about.

when we invade Itran and N Korea you will be drafted.

that will be a funny day to be around and see

That would be the best & funniest GFY day ever!

I'll be with you in spirit, but in reality at home with a beer :flagface

i tryed to join the army when we went into afghanistan and i tryed again when we went into iraq,they didnt let me in because i have 1 DUI.the recruter told me that they have way more people trying to get in right now then we will ever need.he wasnt even whereing glasses

GFY the new sourse of news media around the world.. :winkwink:

I think it was the recruiter who was drunk.
Read some news other than fox. There is a huge deficit

That gave me a chuckle.

Mr. Bush stated emphatically he would not reinstate the draft. That statement was made during his campaign and after.

From what I'm understanding, there are enough volunteers for most of the branches.....they may not need to reinstate.

I know my son was turned down by the Coast Guard....they had enough in the way of volunteers...the same with the Air Force and the Marines....I've heard the Army is doing fine, as is the Navy, although the Navy recruiters were looking for people.....which I found interesting, because they are not really in the line of fire at the moment.....I would think, anyone joining, would choose the Navy, so as to stay out of the line of fire...or as far away from it as possible.

i havent heard anything

still no need to worry,enough poor blacks to join the army before your ass will be in risk

Like I've always said... If they want to pay me to go over there without signing my skull over. I'd jump on the next boat out!

edit: I'd bring my own weapons if they purchased ammo!

i wish they would...

but ain't going 2 happen
