I'm gassing up both my cars Tuesday night; How 'bout you? Gas prices might go up a little but the balloon won't go up for another month (if at all) or so.

The only reason for the draft to be reinstated would be if the U.S. were about to be overrun by an enemy force. With today's technology the draft is at a stage of almost being obsolete. I only want people serving in Our military to be serving because they want to serve Our Country. I do not want possible subversive individuals in our military by compulsiatory draft, ie, socialist/communists. I do not want that element in our military, period. If an All Volunteer Force helps keep that element(Socialists/Communists) out of Our Military, I'm definitely for the ALL Volunteer Force!!!! I do hope you read these lines, Mr. Rangel and Mr. Conyers!!!! Mostly People who truly believe in freedom are the ones serving in Our Military!!!! And Unfortunately for the Democrats, thats why in large amount, Our military has a lot of Republicans in it!!!! The effects of the last Democratic Party President, certainly has not helped The U.S. Military, or the Democratic Party in regards to those putting their lives on the line for Freedom!!!!

Thanks for the heads up!

I am not a big fan of forced military service. As the Hangar Deck and V-3 Division Officer in the USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63) from Jun. 1970 until Nov. 1972, my most troublesome young men were the LBJ draftees.
HST, running every 18 year old (male and female) through Marine Corps Basic Training @ Parris Island or MCRD San Diego has a certain appeal to me.
Bet there are some old retired Gunnies who would love to be recalled for that duty!
And, the "maggots" would not be able to quit, like they can now.

I only want people serving in Our military to be serving because they want to serve Our Country. Without a constant inflow and outflow of (otherwise) civilians in the military we run the real danger of a standing army with more loyalty to itself than to the people. IMO, a profesesional army is not a good thing.

A professional Army dedicated to the Defense of the Copnstitution of the U.S. against ALL enemies foriegn or DOMESTIC, i.e., Socialists/Communists/terrorists, and stand for Freedom and the Bill of Rights is a dammed good thing in
my opinion. And if you don't like that......TOUGH!!!!

As the Hangar Deck and V-3 Division Officer in the USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63) from Jun. 1970 until Nov. 1972, my most troublesome young men were the LBJ draftees. How did you get draftees on a boat? I was unaware that anyone was drafted into anything except the army. Always heard the Navy had an excess of people trying to join it to avoid Viet Nam service.

Copnstitution.....I meant Constitution!!!!
To: mhking
Anyone have plans for the
WORLDWIDE DAY OF PROTEST ON FEB 15 ?A local LP group invited me to a coalition against the war and for protection of constitutional freedoms. No LP types were there. I went today, Saturday evening. It was clear to me the ANSWER and NION group leaders couldn't care less about the abuse of civil liberties of Moslems. It was clear to me that they just hope they can create domestic warfare and conflict between the Moslems and right wing establishment. The Moslem immigrants were clearly nervous and uncertain about how they were being used. The white liberal leaders lamented that so many in the Moslem community were pro-war and needed to be further victimized to heighten their consciousness of the world struggle.
The strategy is clearly divide and conquer.
Will the protestors try to bring down the internet on Feb 15? This might be an operational issue for Jim Rob to consider. Will the protestors try acts of violence as well as acts of disruption? I'll bet the greater threat is from these white liberal crazies than from the Moslems.

And if you don't like that......TOUGH!!!!Our founding fathers didn't like it either. I suppose you are expressing your opinion of the founding fathers disdain for a standing army here. as well as for mine. We're not on the same side.
BTW, it isn "Copnstitution of the U.S.", its the "Constitution for The United States of America". Try reading it sometime, after you've learned to spell it.

I've defended The U.S. Constitution for over 27 years!!!! I don't have to take that cr*p from some snivelling liberal/socialist/communist/terrorist like possibly you!!!!
Now how do you like that!!!! As a matter of fact I was born
in defending the Constitution you like bending and twisting
to you're own liking!!!! Let's not worry about spelling it, let us worry about upholding it and defending it!!!!!

HST, running every 18 year old (male and female) through Marine Corps Basic Training @ Parris Island or MCRD San Diego has a certain appeal to me."Harry S. Truman?" I thought to meself, "what the h--k does Harry S. Truman have to do with the Marines? Everyone knows he was Regular Army!
A temporary Congressional investigatory commission was impaneled, ultimately costing $3.7 billion, but could not resolve the matter. My wife then suggested that it might just mean, "having said that."
