DRAFT
From American Free Press.com:
A military draft may be reinstated by mid-2005 if President George W. Bush is re-elected in November. An appropriation of $28 million has been provided in the current defense budget to bring the nation’s Selective Service System up to speed, which many people believe will likely lead to a national draft of young men and women by June 15, 2005.
U.S. military professionals have told American Free Press that due to the Iraq war and large troop deployments in Korea and Europe, a manpower shortage in the armed forces has reached “a state of critical mass.”

From the same story:Currently, legislation is pending in the House and Senate to renew the draft.Notice anything particular about that list? Let me point it out to the liberals...(D-America)
In the House there is H.R. 163, which was introduced last year by Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.). It was referred to the House Armed Services Committee and the House Subcommittee on Total Force.
H.R. 163 has 14 co-sponsors, including Reps. Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii), Donna M. Christensen (D-Va.), John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), Alcee L. Hastings (D-Fla.), John Lewis (D-Ga.), James P. Moran (D-Va.), Fortney “Pete” Stark (D-Calif.) Corrine Brown (D-Fla.), William Lacy Clay (D-Mo.), Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas.), Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), and Nydia M. Velazquez (D-N.Y.)
That's right...Democrats are pushing this; yet if you listen to the liberals, you'd think President Bush issued a mandate to Congress for this.
Not that long ago, some idiot wrote an article saying that military service was akin to slavery. Most of the folks pushing this legislation are from the Congressional Black Caucus.
Think about that for a minute...
Mark's Remarks
Democrats love drafts. You see, they will create them, sponsor their re-implementation, then campaign like they were against them. In that respect, they are all graduates of the John Waffles Kerry school of Nuance. "I voted for it before I voted against it." They are trying to further politicize the war on terror. And I do not believe the sources of the story that shortages have reached "a critical mass." I have read several stories here stateside that there is a growing mass of young people who have graduated since 9/11 who are registering for military service and volunteering to defend their country. I think this is more spin by the Left. Create a controvsersial move, then blame the other side for it. These people are despicable, especially those in the Black Caucus who have called the draft slavery and then vote for it....you want to talk about House Slaves and doing what Massa says, then look no further than these folks.
