Congress May Bring Back The Draft
The Partisan ^ | Nick

Posted on 08/01/2010 7:48:14 PM PDT by citizenredstater9271

On July 15, 2010, Democrat Charles Rangle introduced a piece of legislation into Congress that would basically reinstate the draft (compulsory military service). H.R. 5741 will give the President of the United States the power to require all American citizens between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform either military service or civilian service in the interests of "national defense and homeland security." It would also give him the power to require citizens to join the military during wartime to meet the manpower needs of the military.

In February 2009, President Barack Obama asked Congress to send him a bipartisan bill in favor of "national service." Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel outline a plan similar to H.R. 5741 in his book The Plan.

Under this new legislation, nearly every American will be forced into two years of military or security service. Even conscientious objectors will be unable to avoid this new draft. Instead, they would have to choose noncombatant or civilian service, which will be defined by the President.

It isn’t supposed to be a sensible law, just meant to create as much division among the American people as they can raise. Democrats are criminal scum. They manipulate to remain in power.

Even the Democrats aren’t that stupid. If they do institute a draft, it’ll be for Mr. Obama’s Civilian National Security Force.


Yes, two years of additional socialist training and development of community organizing skills. Brown shirts will be supplied...or are they purple?

Civilian security service, as defined by the President. Gee, would they get to wear brown shirts and knee-high leather boots too? NFW hussein, NFW.

I support Obama 100%. It would obviously jack up his ratings in short course, this whole country is just anxious to be armed and looking for a battle.

I am 53 but if I get some of that Just for men hair color I can pass for 42.

I want to be a tanker.

Rangle has no clue. While it serves some lofty libtard goal of conscripting the children of the wealthy and not so well off equally, he wants to eliminate the idea that conscripts do not perform as well as volunteers.

No they won’t. This election is going to kick their butts hard enough already. Rangle keeps introducing this bill to prove some point that nobody cares about, but it’ll never pass. Not unless they actually find a majority in Congress that want to retire.

Charlie the Crook has been trying to do this for years. I don’t see it going anywhere this time either. Especially when the boy already has a ton of ethics problems he is going to have to deal with.

This bill is not a request born out of need, or even want, on the side of the military. It’s born out of jealousy and malice so Rangel can force “the rich kids” into the military.

Commie blog or not, this wouldn’t surprise me one bit. Dear leader’s going to need his own goon squads soon if he keeps up his antics.

Hell my previous 10 yrs with Uncle Sugar taught me that Supply Sergeant is the slot to get.
Recreation Facility Management is also a good one for those of us getting a bit 'long in the tooth'...;)

As always...RLTW!
