Ron Silver on Fox with Linda Vester: Kerry has said many times that he will increase troops by 40,000.

Too bad Kerry doesn't go into detail about his policies.

We should push him on this.

He'll be on the defense.

Why is Ron Silver the only one saying this?

It's not only the 40,000 new troops that Kerry has committed to provide.....

I think that thousands of US soldiers will decide that they do not want to serve under Kerry and will opt out of the service at the earliest possible opportunity.

Who will he replace these soldiers with - certainly it won't be liberal volunteers!!

Ron SIlver also blasted Sa-mule L. Jackson for fearmongering!! Silver is disgusted with Hollywood and is revolted by Michael Moore.

not to mention all the soldiers, sailors, and marines that won't re-up because they can't stand the thought of serving under a traitor for CIC.

Good for Ron. After dirty trickster Charlie Rangel put forward a bill to re-instate the draft it became clear that it was only dems. that were disengenuously trying to muddy the water and imply that this was a bush supported idea. Even after bush clearly stated in the debates that the draft was not necessary, Kerry kept insisting that this was bush's idea, presumably in an effort to fool the MTV generation. Fortunatly, no one was fooled, but it's good that Silver made sure the message got out.

Kerry wouldn't have to promise to increase troop population by 40,000 to incur a draft. If Kerry were to win, the majority of folks currently in the military would be abandoning in droves.

That would leave no choice but to draft UNWILLING, UNSKILLED, UNTRAINED, UNEDUCATED men and women into the forces.

Due to the vast array of technical equipment in use today, training of a military person takes a longer time, and depends on the skills a person has.

This would mean a WEAK, poorly trained, and UNWILLING military force, that would quickly become THIRD RATE.

Soon aftr, the US would become a THIRD RATE POWER in the world, forced to KOWTOW to the UN, which is just what KERRY HAS BEEN PLANNING ALL ALONG.

Rule of thumb with these Yankees here.... If it ends in "er", pronounce it with an "a" sound. If it ends in "a", pronounce it with an "er" sound.

Silver becomes "Silva", Vega becomes "Veger". You can't go wrong! ;-)

(If you need me I'll be running for cover, thank you...)

Sorry, I now see everyone else had the same idea, but said it in less words. Well, at least we all agree.

I hope that all of the college crowd realize that they'll be voting themselves into uniform. Republicans won't allow deferrments this time.

Imagine! Pfc Chelsea Clinton.
and some of his hollywood and mtv crowd
