is not fair for our troops

[BSully828]

the troops themselves say the reserves that haven't been called are so plentiful, we would have to invade the entire middle east for a draft to even be considered.

Well, you never know what G.W. Bush holds for you in the future. And after the invasion of the entire Middle East, you'd still need some troops to invade N Korea.

Now that's comedy!

Re: is not fair for our troops

Being as drunk as I can be without puking I write:

The draft has been abolished in my country just before I turned 18, so I barely escaped having to fulfill my military service.
But no-one is gonna make me join the fucking army, I'll tell you that. Simply because I'm not gonna fight any war of which I don't approve.
I'm not an instrument, and don't want to be treated like one. And besides that: joining the army is considered a last resort, when after high-school you don't know what to do or study. Not a compliment over here, and I have friend who did that. I really thought he was pathetic, not knowing what to do...and thus joining the army.

Now he's gone back to school, following some technical course. Good for him.

The Draft is going to be a political nightmare for whoever installs it, that is for sure.

The draft isn't that far off a reality.

Give me one good reason why its not? Your so far from reality just by making this statement, that by giving any argument to my question, you may just fade out of existence.

The draft statements are democratic propoganda to get swing voters to convert to the dark side. Even a guy I work with who is "career" as they say National Guard, and even the troops themselves say the reserves that haven't been called are so plentiful, we would have to invade the entire middle east for a draft to even be considered.

Re: is not fair for our troops

Why do I have a feeling that troops never want to really be "over there" in any war? Just a thought.

Re: is not fair for our troops

Then don't join the army.

Seems really simple doesn't it. Don't want to go to war...don't join the military.

Anyway, I'm sure some of them are ecstatic to be over there, fighting evil in the form of sadistic, head chopping, dirt eating, innocent people killing, fighting for a fucked up and twisted religion motherfuckers. They all knew what they were getting into. I they're pissed to over there they should have made better decisions after high-school.

Either way, they have my support 10000% and I hope they kill a couple (make that alot) of wannabe terrorists for me.
