USA citizens between 18 and 42 years of age required to do national service under new bill

Washington, USA - A new bill is heading to Obama soon that will require all United States citizens to do national service. All citizens between 18 and 42 will be required to do national service under bill HR 5741 to meet "end strength" requirements.

The bill was already introduced and is now heading to the Committee. If successful the bill will then be going to the house and then senate whereafter Obama will sign the bill and make it official.

The US is seeing its lowest support for their wars and occupation globally since 9/11. Obama's promises to bring the troops home are now long forgotten and soon citizens of the United States will have no choice but to "support" the war.

I guess the illegals are exempt from this as it's only citizens that are required to serve.

Do they get to choose their service? If so I recommend they patrol the border...that’s a win-win.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded...People of all ages, stations, and skills will be asked to serve.””

~Barack Hussein Obama, July 2, 2008

I can just tell them I don't have any papers, so they can't prove anything.

I am worried that democraps (after losing in November) will cram through so much socialist agenda as a lame duck congress that we will never recover

HOW MANY are known communists, and how many are held over a barrel by the communists?

This is most worrisome.

This is "community organizing" at a national level.

I would put the chance of this passing at someplace between zero and none. We are broke and if we pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan the military is going to shrink. When you are laying of the volunteer military you hardly need a draft.

The dems introduce this bill every couple of years right before an election to get the "youth" vote riled up against those Evil Republicans. The bill never goes anyplace but into a trash bin.

How ironic...this song comes to mind...

Some folks are born made to wave the flag Yeah, the red, white, and blue When the band plays `Hail To The Chief` Yeah, they`ll point the cannon at you

It ain`t me, it ain`t me I`m no millionaire`s son It ain`t me, it ain`t me I ain`t no fortunate one

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Well, they help themselves, yeah When the taxman comes to the door House looks a like a rummage sale

It ain`t me, it ain`t me I ain`t no millionaire`s son It ain`t me, it ain`t me I ain`t no fortunate one, no

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes Yeah, when they send you down to war Well, when you ask them how much you should give Yeah, it`s always more, more, more

It ain`t me, it ain`t me I ain`t no senator`s son It ain`t me, it ain`t me I`m no fortunate one

It ain`t me, it ain`t me I ain`t no military son It ain`t me, it ain`t me I ain`t no fortunate son Take it away.

Combining your two responses - does that mean that illegals will be patrolling the border? :-)

"- A new bill is heading to Obama soon that will require all United States citizens to do national service"

This post is so idiotic it should be deleted.

I wouldn’t get too worried...Rangel has introduced this bill a number of times in the past. It doesn’t have the slightest chance of actually being passed and signed into law.

The Armed Services do not need conscription, and would suffer from it, given the dismal physical and mental state of today’s youth. However, the Obama Nation and the Democrat party needs the masses to help them implement their radial Marxist style society. Why should they have to pay for these worker bees? Better that the taxpayer fork over their pay and benefits and sit back and watch while productive America pays for the forces that will bring about their own demise.
