We can predict and complain all we want.

We can also volunteer to join those draft boards and have a say in who gets the honors. We can also research with our kids on how to assemble a package to present themselves to the boards as a Conscientious Objector.

There are a number of good articles on this subject. Do a google search on “Military Stop Loss Order”. What’s really interesting is that the “liberal” media rarely reports on this form of involuntary service.

Let’s not forget that there is a de facto draft going on right now. It’s call the Stop Loss order. Many of our troops are forced to stay in Iraq long after their service commitment has been satisfied. For example, a serviceman stationed in Iraq, whose term of commitment was to expire on 6/1/2005, doesn’t just get to pack up and go home on that date. Rather, he has to stay until the military sees fit to ship him home, or he gets carried out of there on a stretcher or in a body bag.

Our military is stretched so thin that any sort of big emergency – terrorist attack, expansion of the Iraq war to Syria or Iran, or scramble over North Korea – would automatically reinstate the draft.

Let them take the kids of Republicans and Independents first.

Bush and his fascist adminitrstion will indeed attack us again or allow an attack, so they can draft our children to send them off to fight in an illegal war for oil. It’s just obvious to me. Support for the illegal war and this illegitimate administraion is falling to new lows. All that can save this war criminal now is another “surprise” attack on our soil and a media that prifits from , truth be damned.
If the attack OR the draft take place WE need to revolt agaisnt this revolting cabal of criminals.

The only thing left is for BushCo to cook up another 9/11. Probably won’t need to kill 3,000 this time, though.

It’s pretty obvious that the Bush administration is preparing to reinstate the draft. They’re just waiting for the next major terrorist attack to justify it. It will be almost impossible to reinstate the draft otherwise, at least not without getting their nether parts handed to them afterwards. But after the terrorists attack again, ah….

My prediction…the draft will be reinstated within 60 days of the next major (or even semi-major) terrorist attack within our borders.
