"Prospective Board Members must be citizens of the United States , at least 18 years old, and registered with the Selective Service (if male).

I've still got my draft card from 1971. Do you think they've still got my records?

"Prospective Board Members may not be an employee of any law enforcement occupation, not be an active or retired member of the Armed Forces, and not have been convicted of any criminal offense.

They just took out anyone who would have an understanding of the military or its lifestyle. How in the H@$$ can anyone determine the fitness of a prospective volunteer without knowing what's involved?

That only reason there is no serious anti-war movement is because there is no draft.

If the draft comes back, it will get ugly.

Draft boards have been in existence since at least the late 1930s. The draft was ended in the mid-1970s, but the boards remained, at teh ready in the event the draft is ever reinstated.

They are talking about reviving the draft.

Males and females, 18-49 years of age will be subject to the draft.

My guess is that the middle east is going to explode and they want to be ready.

The alternate media---Alex Jones---Pastor Ernie Sanders---Truth Radio and many others have been talking about this for several months now.

This is a new era of protest. It's pretty much a given that "draft board" members will find their pictures, names, addresses, phone numbers, places of employment, and perhaps other information posted on the web, on foreign hosted sites if neccesary.

Conscription is as militarily obsolescent as "human wave" attacks. It's only value is to those who want to skimp on pay/training/equipment/morale and fight a bunch of half-ast actions, to those who wish to use the military for social engineering, and to those who wish to use it to stir up anti-military resentment.

Any idea as to when this was posted at the .mil site?

Has it always been there?

As a volunteer US Army vet, I'm unalterably opposed to a draft.

It's nothing more than involuntary servitude.

If the policies of the government are so bad they can't get volunteers to support it, then maybe the policies need to change.

A "free country" with a draft is an oxymoron.

Conyers will be delighted if a draft is begun. He was pushing for it just earlier this year.
