My brother is in this group.
He's 18
A miracle indeed.
They better sign up now, before they are drafted...< /sarcasm>
Hmmm. How about a poll on how many high school- age citizens are boneheads?
In a related story, 55% of high schools have been brainwashed by their NEA-member teachers.

Secretary Rumsfeld Interview with “The John &Ray Show,” WUSN-FM Radio
RAY: We’re getting mixed signals from -- I know there’s a lot of people out there that say Rumsfeld wants to bring back the draft. And I…
SEC. RUMSFELD: [Chuckles] Oh, no.
RAY: No, no. I mean, well, let’s clear that up right away, because I know that’s not true because…
SEC. RUMSFELD: Oh.
RAY: … if I’m not mistaking, weren’t you one of the first guys to do away with the draft?
SEC. RUMSFELD: I was one of the first people in Congress to introduce legislation to go to an all-volunteer Army and military. And as a matter of fact, there was a big conference at the University of Chicago with Milton Freedman and a whole host of people and there were many – I testified before the House and Senate as a young congressman recommending that we end the draft. We don’t need the draft. We’ve got the ability to pay people what they’re worth and to adjust incentives so we can attract and retain the people we need. And fortunately, we have a relatively small number of people in the military, compared to our population, so we’re not having trouble attracting and retaining the people we need.
I thought the same thing coming out of high school at the start of Gulf War I. With the combination of improper education at a Gov't school and the Media constantly talking about the draft, it was not an impossible reality to envision.
Of course, it did not happen.
Maybe they were thinking of the NBA draft. I think it comes back about once a year.
Darned Democrats introduce a bill to expand the draft, then point fingers at the Republicans, and scream - "They did it!"
And the poor high school students have their teachers telling them that Bush is going to reinstitute a draft.
There is only reason why this country will institute a draft... We come under a major attack by another major power. So, yes - a draft could happen - but at the moment it doesn't seem likely.
Looks like teachers are spending more time scaring kids about the draft than to read.
The Horatio Alger Association is probably one of the phoney non profits funded by the Tides Foundation.
If so that would explain why this bogus poll was done.
The ONLY sponsors (including the 14 co-signers) are Democrats. It is purely a campaign scare tactic cooked up by the 'Rats to court the youth vote. Forums for young people and blogs have propagated the rumor that President Bush is seeking to bring back the draft (propagated by good li'l democrat operatives, doesn't matter whether they were paid to do this or not).
If these students would stop downloading porn, playing online games, and engaging in online cam sessions long enough to look up the 2 bills, they would see that the only people who are proposing a draft are Democrats. If they want to see the draft become a reality, support Democrats, kids.
"Can most hihg sckoolers read?"
Some can even spell.
The Bush administration and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld had made it clear that they do NOT favor a draft and that they are meeting recruiting quotas.
If anyone re-instates the draft it will be a democrat.
Heck, I always thought i'd get lucky in High School, but we'll leave that to the imagination.
And we know that high schoolers know everything.
Yes, mine can read very well, thank you, and they also think there will be a draft.
