This was something we didn't need to be dealing with:
Key Democrats, including the incoming House speaker, House majority leader and chairmen of the House and Senate armed services committees, said they do not support a resumption of the draft. They predicted that the idea will gather little momentum in the 110th Congress, which convenes in January. Pentagon officials also restated their opposition to a draft.
Their comments came a day after Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.), who will chair the Ways and Means Committee, said he would again introduce a bill calling for a return to the draft, saying it would force policymakers to deliberate more carefully before deciding to go to war...
Yeah, yeah, Charlie, we get the rich-man's-war-poor-man's fight point your're trying to make. But with W stil in the White House it's too damn risky to even be TALKING about a draft. Especially with the infrastructure still in place:
Rangel's insistent efforts to keep this issue in the body politic is allied to an underlying framework that provides for a rapid and extensive implementation of conscription, be it on the continent or within the 4th Reich of America in the form of Homeland Security Gestapo squads.
Though influential Democrats like Nancy Pelosi have publicly shot down any chance of the draft returning to America, everything is in place to activate it, absent a nuclear or biological attack on a U.S. city or geopolitical turmoil.
'The Selective Service System, an agency independent of the Defense Department, says it's ready to respond quickly to any crisis that would threaten to overwhelm the current all-volunteer military,' reports CNN, noting that the agency would be able to fully implement the draft in under a time period of seven months...
In the meantime we still don't have a draft, but we DO have the Top 10 Lies Told By Military Recruiters, the lowest form of life on the planet.
