Easier said than done since the military does not have the infrastructure nor the officers and NCOs necessary to oversee a massive influx of conscripts into service. Plus, if Barney Frank gets his way and slashes DoD's budget by 25%, the money won't be there to support such asudden expansion of manpower in the armed forces.

As for the mandatory National service deal, the whole thing is completely unworkable, and even if Congress passes it, I doubt it will last very long before it completely falls apart for a variety of reasons, namely failure to cooperate by millions of already laxy teens and college students.

This is all just a bunch of typical Socialist utopian BS that will soon prove to be completely unfeasible, especially once the complaints start raining down upon the heads of Congressmen who might vote for such an abomination to personal liberty. Good thing that Congressional elections are held every two years so that the fear of the voting public can force the Congress critters to re-examine some of the loony-tune things they promise to do during previous election cycles.

He’ll have to reinstate the draft. Re-enlistments will drop to almost zero... early (earlier than otherwise) retirements will be prolific. Enlistments for the right reasons will be minimal.

I’ll check and report back in two years.

...Yep. Last time it was a real barrel full of laughs.

Tinfoil alert...

But, if so, it is AOF.

Just sign everything AOF. Soon enough everyone will know exactly what it means.

The only thing I like about the draft is illegal immigrants are eligible. If they are found to have not registered, they have broken the law. Pretty clearly spelled out on the Selective Service website FAQs.

Considering how he wants to expand the WOT in Pakistan and Afghanistan; considering how he expects NATO troop expansion in Africa; considering how on October 25th he said if we’re at war we all go - not just some; considering his statements that the military should include youth from all walks of life to balance out ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, it wouldn’t surprise me if he did. I’m willing to bet in the spirit of equality there would be no deferments for something like higher education.

A new guy at my work, before the election asked me who I was voting for. When I replied John McCain he began blathering on about McCain starting the draft...

I replied that Obamao will be the only one starting the draft.

He promptly replied, "WHAAAT?"

"Don't worry", I said, "It won't be for the Army, Navy, Air force or Marines..." lets just say that left him perplexed.

When I began to tell him of Obamao and his Domestic Ostapo force, he accused me of lies.

He then told me he would vote for Obama just to cancel my vote for McCain, I highly doubt he actually voted.

So many indoctrinated fools, even when you try to share information with them in the hopes of an epiphany of sorts, it just fails to latch on to any vital neural receptors.

The betrayal of the Obamessiah’s supporters will begin faster than I had imagined. The gravy train they thought they were getting aboard will only go as long as they shovel (something other than) the coal for the boiler.

Being so many voted for the 0ne, let them be his first victims. I wonder how many would have pulled the lever for him if they thought they would be drafted, men and women both.

I thought the birth certificate fraud ended when the Hawaii government said they were sealing the records or something?

If you have different info please tell us as I think everyone could use a morale boost!

Whoa ther KUKU . . there has to be some Legislation on this before it is a reality . . .After all, Bushie was bashed on reviving the draft, how could it suddenly become “Cool” and acceptable?
There this little thingie about the Constitution, also.
Excellant diatribe on what it would mean if implemented . . but Pelosi and Company have to run it by San Francisco and friends first.
Would they Draft Gays ?
