Subject: I Got My Draft Card.
“I got my draft card,” that is what you will be hearing, if Kerry wins and you or anyone you love is of draft age. Kerry winning will very likely end up causing a draft; the reasons are because the military is spread thin, Kerry has alienated our alliances, and Halliburton has said over and over that if they don’t have enough protection for their employees they will pull out. Kerry said he plans to add 40,000 troops. So, lets see what will more likely happen if Kerry is elected.
First of all, Kerry has alienated our alliances. These countries will more likely start pulling their troops out. THIS MEANS WE WILL BE THAT MANY MORE TROOPS SHORT.
Second, Halliburton will pull out because their employees will not have enough protection. This means that military personnel will have to fill these thousands of empty job positions. THIS MEANS WE WILL BE THAT MANY MORE TROOPS SHORT.
Third, the military is already spread thin. THIS MEANS KERRY AS PRESIDENT WILL HAVE TO BRING BACK THE DRAFT. This can cause another Vietnam and thousands of lives lost, because Kerry will want to save face. Remember he said, “Just because Bush couldn’t do the job doesn’t mean that he can’t do the job.”
Fourth, Kerry said he plans to add 40,000 troops. THIS MEANS THAT THERE WILL BE A DRAFT.
NOTE: Right now, the United States is training Iraq troops so that they can take over and we can bring our soldiers back home. I hope that we can be smart enough on Nov 2nd to give the Bush Administration the opportunity to accomplish this goal.
They didn't, and she can't source it.
"I'm voting for Bush so this will not happen to the good decent people."

In the first sentence here you directly attack EggsAckley by wishing him financial difficulties via a Flipper administration.
You then go on to say that you are supporting President Bush so that such hardships won't fall on "good decent people." I assume your list of "good decent people" excludes EggsAckley.
I'm beginning to think that you may support President Bush only out of fear for military service. In my mind, that not only makes you a Troll, it also makes you a coward.
Sorry, forgot to ping you to #42.
D'OH!
EggsAckley -- Her, not him.
Sorry again.
... meanwhile, still waiting for a reply from Sadie789...
Well, at least they aren't out trying to convert people.
Sounds like a personal problem. How the hell do you KNOW that anyone in this form does NOT know what "real suffering is all about?"
You f'ing troll.
I bet you're ugly, too.
you might want to chill out, noobie.
you are calling down the lightning, and you just might get it.
...and your mother dresses you funny...
Is it SOUP yet?
My humblest apologies. I mistyped in all my excitement.
You want suffering?
Go to the Hollywood kink stores then.
You won't get any suffering from me.
If our military is thin, it's because CLINTON cut it to shreds.
"Gay people don't have to worry about a draft, they're exempt because they just are. So, they can support Kerry.
Right?"
Where did this come from?
WHO mentioned gays?

Sadie,
Would you just relax.
MoJo!
Didn't see you found this one too!
Cool!
(And no, I didn't drive it into here either.. So we're both covered, not our fault!)
, Kerry has alienated our alliances. These countries will more likely start pulling their troops out.
Which alliance has Kerry "alienated? Which Coalition member has declared this, citing JF'nK as the root fault?
Halliburton will pull out because their employees will not have enough protection.
My command is in frequent contact with the contractors - such a thing has NEVER been brought up, even thru back channels. What is your source, other than opinion?
the military is already spread thin.
Prove it - you can't, but I can disprove it. With 110K troops in Iraq, <15K in the Afghanistan theater, plus support units in theater brings it to roughly 150K - out of a total force of 2 million, we've got actively deployed less than 8% of our manpower. Since 9-11, we've rotated approximately 20% of the force structure, of all branches. We haven't even BEGUN to dip into the "labor pool" - a draft under anyone, to say nothing of not a chance of getting thru Congress, isn't needed. Scare the Sheep, is all this game is.
Kerry said he plans to add 40,000 troops. THIS MEANS THAT THERE WILL BE A DRAFT
See the previous answer for this hot steaming BS.
Thanks for the ping Sarge.
Sadie, the military is not spread thin. Each service has met and exceeded it's recruiting goals this year. As they have for the last 4 years.
Some troops are being affected by stop-loss. These troops have unique abilities and experience. These positions cannot be filled by a new recruit or draftee.
