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 dont 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 couldnt do the job doesnt mean that he cant 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.
Hello.
First, it really is in bad form to post the same vanity, twice in the same day.
Next: Some of this stuff you're kiting DOES seem paranoid.
As Howlin asks: WHEN did Haliburton say they will pull their contractors out?
Lastly, you DO seem rather combative, espcially for someone so new, who does not know us.
I would suggest that you calm down a bit and regroup. We're all a little testy here this week, the trolls and disruptors are thick on the ground and it's only going to get worse . Frankly we don't need the extra mayhem.
I've never heard Halliburton say such a thing, have you?
I haven't either, which is why I'm with you asking her to source that.
Check out the troll's post #9 to me.
"Gay people don't have to worry about a draft, they're exempt because they just are. So, they can support Kerry.
Right?"
Still trying to figure out what wall THAT came off of.

There's no doubt about it, we're getting some strange ones around here lately.
Shields up!
There were three in a row on the "latest article" page. This was the first. I really think they're gearing up to attack FR on the 2nd.
Perhaps a temporary moratorium on new signups might be in order just to help us get through election day.
mysterious, isn't it?
LOL!
Well we ARE close to Halloween!
:-)
Actually we are NOT close to a draft even if Kerry wins. The draft is a fear ploy brought up by Dem's. We only have about 5% of our military in any action whatsoever. So this crap that we keep hearing on CNN, CBS, NBC and Abc about the military being thin is garbage. Just another example that the mainstream media is in love with John Kerry.
Imagine what the Dem's and the media is doing here. If our military is this thin and we are really only in two countries(Afghanistan and Iraq) This would be the best chance for our enemies to attack us. The liberals are really saying our military is weak. If our military is REALLY running thin, we are no longer the world power!

It's people like you that makes me wish Kerry wins,
so you'll know what real suffering is all about.Whoa! Pretty sassy there, newbie.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . .don't be shy.
Suffering is watching your country attacked by Islamic terrorist.
Suffering is having to comfort your children through it.
Suffering is watching someone you love leave home to defend this country.
Suffering is knowing that the rest of the world doesn't get it.
Suffering is knowing that by doing so, our country stands alone.
Suffering is knowing that our children will continue this fight into their adulthood.
Suffering is knowing that half of this country doesn't get it.
Suffering is realizing that John Kerry wants to be President of the United States.
Suffering is watching our President harassed, insulted, disrespected, and vilified from you and the rest of the world.
Spare me your damn suffering speech.
Save it for someone who gives a rat's ass. Save it for someone who supports a Vietnam Vet like John Kerry, but protests our Troops today.
Now be gone!

FYI, Sadie:FreeRepublic.com Posting Guidelines
Posting Guidelines
Broadly stated, the goals of this site are to further conservatism, expose political corruption, and recover a truly constitutional form of government. If these are not your goals, you may find another discussion site more suitable.Free Republic expects users to follow a few simple posting guidelines (described below) and by posting to the forum you and others agree to abide by them. While Free Republic is not edited or censored, it does reserve the right to remove any postings that are considered inappropriate. Examples of inappropriate posts are those that are off-subject or contain advertising, pornography, obscene material, racist material, Nazi (or other hate group) material, materials promoting violence, threats or illegal acts, etc.
These guidelines are intended to help maintain a useful amount of order in a large site like this and to promote better posting. They may be revised without notice. Users of Free Republic should also understand that this is a privately owned, not-for-profit site and that they are guests here. The owner reserves the right to revoke posting privileges and, when necessary, to permanently ban individuals.
- Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.
- Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button. (More on that below.)
- Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.
- Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.
- Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.
- Do stay on topic - If you are going to post an article, make sure you are placing it in the correct topic area.
- Do include the original title - When you post an article, be sure to include the original title where appropriate. This helps users find the article and lessens the chance of a double post. [This means don't post the SAME article TWICE].
- Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting. Often a relevant current thread or general announcement, catch-all thread is a much better choice for a brief question or comment.
- Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.
- Don't spam - Post your message once. If you are not sure if it has posted, check the latest posts page.
- Don't violate poster privacy - Don't reveal online another poster's phone number, address, or other information that the person hasn't already made public for everyone on Free Republic. If you are asked for a friend's email address, the best advice usually is to forward the request to the friend. He or she can then decide whether to respond.
- Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it, and don't misattribute a contribution you've made. (Parody exceptions would apply to the latter, of course, but it should be clear what you are doing.)
- Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.
