Draft

recently a brig. gen. in the american army said if recruitment numbers dont go up they will have no choice but to start a draft. washington recently said they wanted to raise the army by 50,000 or even 100,000. what are yuor thoughts?

I think the Bush family should be drafted. Michael Moore made a good point on that. They wanna draft the people, but not their own families... of course

They're girls.

By the way, I'd like to see the Lakers draft either Raymond Felton or Jarrett Jack.

Yeah with the NFL draft comming up I actually thought this thread might have some relevance...anyway regarding the (military/selective service or what have you) draft - ain't going to happen - just ain't - no time soon - so don't worry. The very very many issues that exist regardign such - from protests to defermnents (political killers) to the fact that the military can't manage & train all these kids fast enough to be of much use anymore - etc etc - nope...they will just build more robots....

recruitment numbers have dropped by a huge number since the invasion of iraq. they even went up when we invaded afganistan. according to many generals the only way they are going to raise the army by the numbers they want it will be threw a draft.

the white house even let out a statement sayign they want to rasie the army by 50-100,000. and this would suck becuase iam the only person in my family that is a male and of draft age (will be soon anyway). my dad is to old and my brother is in another country.

they dont care if the population dosnt agree in the war, example:veitnam

Generals would love to have a draft, but generals aren't politicians and they have no power to institute a draft. Any politician that did so would likely not be re-elected and that is why we will have no draft. See, democracy can work sometimes.

I like drafts.... I do them when I have an important paper to write.
