Murtha Wants the Draft



“I vote against the volunteer army.”

“We ought to not have a select few who volunteer. I think everybody ought to be obligated to serve.”

“I think [the draft is] absolutely needed.”


Mark's Remarks


Let me translate:

"I vote against getting people who want to serve and the best of the best."

"We ought to not have a select few who volunteer. I think that our military should be made of people who don't want to be there, who are forced to by the force of law, producing a built in surrender mechanism."

"I think a draft is needed because our military is in too good a shape, and we need to make it garbage again."
