Congress May Bring Back The Draft

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’s Carter on steriods

LOL

Yes they are young and may snap out of their liberal/socialist fantasies soon enough, but remember if they are going to be drafted it's going to happen right after there out of HS when there still brainwashed. Draft 30 year olds who have a basic understanding of how America works and I'd be less afraid. But 18 year old kids who are still worshipping Kanye West and who are still hung over from N0bama's youth campaign are another thing.

I know how young people think. I have two cousins. One is 23 and just graduated from a liberal college and her sister is 18 and about to attend a liberal college after graduating from a government public school. Both of them supported B Hussein in 2008 and their parents arent political in the least bit. Shows you the power liberal and socialist teachers have.

Do you know when my daughter became a conservative? She was 16, finally got a job, and saw the amount of taxes that she “owed” the government!

Trust me...the draft won’t come back unless Rangel is elected President. IOW...it ain’t gonna happen. This is a scare tactic constructed by the ‘rats, when it’s the ‘rat Rangel who has been pushing for it for quite a few years.

The fact is that the Ruling Class don’t want their kids to be drafted, so this will never pass. Us Country Class people agree. ;o)

I can understand why young people were enthralled with Obama. Don’t discount the media’s role in the selling of Obama. However, there are many who are having buyer’s remorse.

You have to look at voter turnout, too. Young people came out in droves for Obama in 2008. This year, the ‘rats are having to pour millions of dollars into “safe” areas, like MA, NY, PA...

That is a good indicator of how things are going for them.

OK so she learned early then. But I'm talking about MOST of American youth. MOST American youth are brainwashed. MOST American youth attend public schools where marxism is integrated in social studies and English class. MOST American youth attend liberal colleges like Hampshire and Swarthmore where socialist profs teach them to have sympathy for the terrorists. I do not want them defending me. I want proud patriotic Americans defending me and my country.

Maybe but the ruling class has the $$$ to leave America. They can send their kids to schools in France or Britain and avoid the draft all together. The gov. wants YOUR KIDS and mine to serve.

Good to know. But ever think it could be b/c N0bama isn't socialist enough for them?

Okie dokie...I think we will have to agree to disagree. I will address this one thought, though.

“But ever think it could be b/c N0bama isn’t socialist enough for them?”

No...they are spending more money in deep blue areas because they are in trouble there. That is the only reason they wouldn’t use those resources elsewhere.

It’s been nice to meet you, and I hope I see you around the forum. ;o)

The democrats pull this crap before every election. It won’t go anywhere. Personally I have nothing against the draft, but a volunteer army is always preferable.
