Have forwarded this to all in my email address book. Thanks.

I'd love to see the Dems put it in their party platform.

The snide comments and sneers from self-righteous libertarian paleo-FReepers shall commence in five... four... three... two... one.

The dems are doing this cause they want rich white kids to be in the service. We may get the draft back, but I bet a nickle to your dollar not one rich white kid will go into the military unless they want to.

A good portion of our military are liberals who were just trying to go to college. They loved it when the government gave them their monthly checks, but not so loving it now

Ask Bev Harris, it was OK for her step son to join the military when he was getting money from them, now that it is pay back time the poor dear is all upset. William Pitt (talk about a name that fits the person) is writing up all kinds of cruel things that is happening to her poor baby.

all is fair in love and war and Bev Harris now knows you cant take unless you give. I feel no pity for them. I do feel for the guys who enlisted in the service full time. They are our fighters, They are our heroes. Not Bev's step kid he just wanted money

NO!!! It's the evil Joooo loving Neocons and their Anti-Drug warriors who are trying to institute the draft so they can kill all of our White Anglo saxon gentiles and give zionism a stronger hold on the tyrannical US government. /Loserdopian Perspective

The liberals want to reinstate the draft in order to make the military weak and ineffective and filled with malcontents, dopeheads, losers, and liberals. They are only calling for a larger military because they don't believe that there are enough volunteers to fill the quotas but they forget that the all volunteer military was MUCH larger in the 1980's.

Good grief...they are just now getting around to refuting those charges? From a previous post of mine...

What is funny is that the anti-war left is now wringing their hands over two proposals in Congress concerning the draft. Only one problem...actually two...

There are only two "draft" proposals in the works in Congress according to Thomas Legislation, S89 and HR163. Both are for drafting those between 18 and 26 to serve a period of 2 years, barring exemptions for high school students and hardship/disability. Conscientious objectors can be exempt from combat duty. HR163 was submitted by Charles Rangel...a DEMOCRAT! S89 is was submitted by Senator Fritz Hollings...another DEMOCRAT!

Chickenhawks don't want to bring back the draft because they might get caught in it.

Chickenhawks prefer to draft the current volunteers: "The Army announced Wednesday that it would require all soldiers bound for Iraq and Afghanistan to extend their active duty at least until their units have returned home from duty there, a move that could keep thousands of troops in the service for months longer than they expected over the next several years,"

[ Liberal Democrats, not "neo-cons" trying to bring back "draft" ]

Neo-cons are liberals, Ex-liberals. You can remove the liberal from their slavery. But its hard to remove the slavery from the liberal. i.e. neocons.

[Gritty]

Liberals figure if they can reinstall the draft they blame it on Bush, reignite the college campuses and deju vu their favorite part of history all over again by turning Iraq and the WOT into another "Vietnam".

They are the Fifth Column of the Islamics.
