I was wondering if someone could dlear this up for me. I am a bit confused. I have heard that he might impose a draft. But i have seen an interview where he said he wouldnt. |

It's possible but thats not gonna happen. |

Isn't it you who wanted to not mention Bush anymore---you hypocrite!! ok ok you wrote this before you wrote that other thread--whatever...g on wit your bad self! |
||||||||

some people are absolutely sure he will. I don't know. I do know he talked with president canada about not letting any kids in. |

Bush kept repeating it over and over during the first debate that he will not reinstitute the draft. he added that the volunteer draft is quite functional, keeping the flow of military quantity stable when needed. |

it's not gonna happen. the military neither needs, nor wants a shitload of kids that don't want to be there. our military has become a very technical job. even ground soldiers have to go through extensive training. the days of drafting a kid, handing him a gun, and sending him into the battlezone are over. a draft isn't needed anymore. that's just a scare tactic that was used by both sides during the election. |

check congress' website.. the proposed date for the conscription is/was june 15, 2005 it is rediculously unrealistic to think that this overstretched military force can stand the minimum 4 more years of occupation without reaching out beyond its volunteers. |

The Service act of 2003's title is: "To provide for the common defense by requiring that all young persons in the United States, including women, perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes." - congress.gov http://www.sss.gov/perfplan_fy2004.html |

haha, if that happens there will be riots most definately |
||||||||

that's not a draft. that's required military service such as israel has. and, it won't be the enrollment that crumples our ability to stay engaged in our millitary campaigns, it'll be the economy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's DEFINATELY not true. he doesn't give half a fuck if there's available money to pay for his war.. he spent hundreds of billions without taxing those most capable of paying for it. spending w/o taxing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
we've got the manpower to run these wars if we absolutely need to. the average duration of service for an american soldier during WWII was 33 months. today, if we've got a soldier deployed for 18 months they are considered very over deployed. if the need arises, we'll extend tours of duty. as unpopular as it would be, it'd be much more popular than a draft. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it doesn't matter what bush wants. if he runs the deficit up to mind bendingly high levels, the dollar will become worthless on international markets, people will dump their dollars overnight, and our economy will tank. game over. he has to know that. if he doesn't, who cares, it's out of his hands. no money = no bullets & no food for soldiers = no war |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they've already started doing that.. they started that at the end of last year.. and the truth is we dont' have the manpower to handle this war and the hundreds of other campaigns we're running all over the world for 5 more years .. esp. w/ afghanistan and whatever country he invades next |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dude, he's doing all of that. they're not even paying for armor for the troops and their humvees are not reinforced adequately for combat situations. troops have to have their parents buy them the armor they need over the internets! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they're extending tours; yes. and they will continue to extend them. any politician knows that it is political suicide to instate a draft, and what's a politician's #1 concern? his/her job. not to mention, i really and truly don't believe that a draft would be very helpful in today's army. if things get so bad that the american army needs massive quantities of untrained soldiers running around on the battlefield, then things have gotten so bad that humanity only has a few days left anyway, so it's not really that important. |

i haven't registered for selective service.... oh wait, that's illegal. i mean, draft draft draft. and by draft, i mean not ME. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, the thing is, the neo-con administration no longer has to play it safe and do the minimal pandering or show the minimal restraint that they had to do in an election year.. it's carte blanche for real now ..they dont have to worry about losing any office that is up to the people to decide/choose.. this is like lbj/nixon all over again. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah. this is scary times indeed. i won't argue there. |
||||||||

i'm so scared i can hardly contain myself. OH GODDDDDDDD!!!!!! *runs to toilet* |

I don't think that's fear, guy. |

someone needs to kill Bush... we should organize an Xltronic assassination! |

Republican Senetor proposes reinstating the draft, Selective Service positions vacant since the 70's being filled, republicans win the senate/ house, pending expansion of war into iran/syria, however, bush said we wouldnt during a debate. |

hmmm, yeah, FBI agents will probably come take me away now... |

ah ha ha ha |

Is not registering for selective service one of those hardly enforced "illegal" things? I'm pretty sure I registered because I applied for a government job once and had to. If I wanted to be president, I would just do whatever I could to get in there and then once I was in just do whatever the hell I want, not worrying about being reelected and just accepting serving only one term, but doing whatever I want during that term. |

so long as the economy stays shit, there will be plenty of poor people who will be more than willing to join the army because they don't really have any other decent employment opportunites... that and the fact that all they really need is another attack on american soil to spur on another massive flow of reactionary volunteers... |

You aren't going to live much longer. The CIA and FBI have advanced google x 1,000,000 search engines designed to pin down people like you. I will have NO part of this. |

bush has a history of repeating things that turn out to be false. i don't blame anybody for not trusting him on this issue. |

"Our all-volunteer army will remain an all-volunteer army," Bush began, to cheers from supporters here in Florida... "My opponent seems to be willing to say almost anything he thinks will benefit him politically," he said. "After standing on the stage, after the debates, I made it very plain we will not have an all-volunteer army." "And yet this week..." he continued, before suddenly realizing the gaffe and shouting: "We will have an all-volunteer army." "Let me restate that: We will not have a draft. No matter what my opponent tries to tell people and scare them, we will have an all-volunteer army," promised the president, who is known for frequent verbal stumbles. that's george bush at a spech in daytona beach. |

freudian slip? |

|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i think you guys are overreacting... he does not need a draft to feed the war machine... there are plenty of young americans who, for one reason or another, are willing to go fight... |
||||||||

you do realize many of those volunteers are immigrants from all across the world. who enlist so they can obtain gov't benefits for their service in the arm forces. |
