The draft if brought back is supposed to be all males and females ages 18-26 with no deferrments. This will probably cause a major baby boom in the girls who don't want to be drafted. Just stay pregnant from age 18-26.

[Viet-Boat-Rider]

People in the military will quit too, (don't forget that the Kerry camp says that they don't care about the moral in the military)which will cause an even greater shortage in the military.

[kralcmot]

yes its pretty much as you have said. and the other reason that kerry will institute a draft even though he has said that he will not is that he has also said and proven that he can review the situation and change his mind. the interesting thing about this is that it will cause a rebellion from the radical left, the same group that he has been pandering to for votes.

[bushfamfan]

You've got that right. That's why it is so amusing to see Kerry push this lie about Bush going to have a return to the draft to scare. It is most obvious Kerry has angered the Polish PM who was not happy about Kerry's disregard to Poland's contribution and said so and it makes it most likely he will not be willing to extend Polish troops in Iraq, as well as other allies Kerry has demeaned over in Iraq. Kerry will be a disaster. I guess we will always have the Michael Moores, Leonardo DiCapprios, Sean Penns, Brad Pitts willing to serve under a Kerry?

[Proud2BeRight]

He will need a draft to get military. His supporters are not the kind of people that would serve and those who now serve will not want to be under his command. The vast majority of military are voting for Bush.

[cripplecreek]

I think we will see John Kerry issuing his resignation before he reinstates the draft. It would be political suicide to try.

[KoRn]

I wonder how they are getting the names and addresses of these draft aged people, especially the younger ones. I'm thinking their names are getting out through the school system or something. I've heard stories of 18 year olds getting draft cards, and teens being called by sKerry support groups asking for help. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I was 18(not long ago), no one outside friends and family knew who I was, let alone political organizations.......I smell a rat is in the works somewhere, or better yet a RAT

Kerry's military will suffer from plunging enlistments
and re-enlistments. He will have to have a draft, and
all the draft bills are actually Universal National
Service bills.

You might be able to chose between cleaning toilets in
a slum or putting on a uniform, but the odds are that

he won't even get enough people opting for those pretty
blue helmets, and before long, the military will be
conscripting.

Yet another reverse projection hoax.
What Kerry accuses Bush of planning is not only not
true, it's exactly what Kerry will deliver.

Here's a summary of the draft hoax.

Kerry First 100 days

(7) A NEW ERA OF NATIONAL SERVICE. John Kerry will call on Americans of all ages – from students to America’s seniors - to serve in our classrooms, after school programs, nursing homes and nursery schools. We will fight to allow students to earn four years of college tuition in exchange for two years of national service. His plan will require mandatory national service for high school kids and enlist a million Americans in service a year.

Picked this gem off of a liberal message board:

---

I'd much rather be in the miltary under Kerry than Bush.
a) He's able to think in complex ways, unlike the
President.
b) He's actually been in combat and knows how bad it
is ,unlike the President.
c) He wouldn't urge the enemies to attack me, unlike the
President ("Bring it on" tres macho)

---

There's just no hope for these liberal swine.

[sharktrager]

I had a draft card in 1988.

[Paul C. Jesup]

Since Kerry is running on the LIE that Bush with restart the draft. If Kerry makes it to office due to massive voter fraud (plus his 10,000 lawyers) and then turns around and restarts the draft, he may spark a civil war, if the voter fraud does not spark it first.

I hope Bush wins for the survivial of this country, it's citizens and it's Constitution.

Kerry Believed Vietnam Colleagues Would Have 'Fragged' Gay Commanding Officer

>>> what he would do with military personnel who were taught by their parents and ministers that "the gay lifestyle is wrong." Kerry replied that the military would have to counter such feelings--even if they are rooted in religious values learned at home <<<<

Now do you know why the RATs want a draft.

[daler]

I have a 20-year-old son (my only son) who was born with just one functioning kidney.

When he was a baby, the only "positive" thing I could extract from the situation was that at least I wouldn't have to worry about losing him on some future battlefield.

Wouldn't you know...he recently mentioned to me that he asked a recruiter if he could get a waiver on his medical status so that he might enlist and serve in Iraq - - yes, he really wants to.

I was both shocked and very proud of his admission, even though I would probably be a basket case for as long as he would serve (like any other military parent).

Contrast that with the Kerry campaign's attempts at inducing fear among (healthy) American youth that GWB may re-institute the draft...even though it's a completely bogus campaign ploy.

I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe.
