Is America ready for the draft and compulsary universal service?

[Mulder]

This is unconstitutional (13th amendment):

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction

Also, it's prohibited under the 9th and 10th amendments.

[MineralMan]

Personally, I have no problem whatever with a Universal Service program. It needn't just be the military, but could apply to all sorts of programs.

Given the spoiled rotteness of the run of our youth out there, I think it would do all young people between 18 and 25 a lot of good to give service to their nation, either in the military or in some other area.

Let the flames begin.

Everytime I see this kind of liberal crap it reminds me of the Clintoons . GOD I can't wait to pi$$ on his grave .

[rellimpank]

--hopefully a resounding "NO"---

--if any grandchild of mine is faced with anything but a military draft out of national necessity, I'll pay for their way to anywhere to escape it--

[XJarhead]

The state doesn't own the individual. The individual owns the state. Compulsory National Service is sickening totalitarianism. It's the one proposal out there that I actually think would justify armed resistance.

People came to this country to get away from rulers who thought they could get away with that stuff.

[freeeee]

Hee hee.

I say go for it by all means, neo-cons!

And our pathetic 1% Libertarian vote will overnight become more than enough to sweep ALL your sorry selves from office!

They ought to call this the "Universal We Don't Want to Be Re-elected Act" LOL!!

My life for my country, but not one second of my life in socialist slavery to my country.

[Willie Green]

One of our defects as a nation is a tendency to use what have been called “weasel words.” When a weasel sucks eggs the meat is sucked out of the egg. If you use a “weasel word” after another there is nothing left of the other.

-- Theodore Roosevelt
Speech, May 31, 1916,

Works, vol. 24 (1926).
Referring to Woodrow Wilson´s proposal for “universal voluntary military training.”

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. SMITH of Michigan (for himself and Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services Also, pending in the House...

[WhiteGuy]

Interesting

This bill and others including "patriot act II" are all ready to be rushed to the House and Senate Floors,

after the next act of terror is allowed to take place.

Timing is everything
