"I Won't Kill For You" Column on Bush spending $28 mil to reinstate DRAFT

I Won't Kill For You

After King George II and his court of murderous thieves steal the presidential election in November, again, the slumbering American public will awake to the fact that the reinstatement of a military draft is the only way these bastards can continue their crusade against terror.

-snip-

But wait a minute. Georgie, Rummy, and Wolfie have all publicly denied plans for the first military draft since Vietnam, and of course they’ve never lied to us before.

-snip-

First, this year’s funding for the Selective Service System was increased by $28 million. This doubles the funding to a government agency that hasn’t seen an increase in funds in over 20 years. Remember they claim to not be doing anything different from what they’ve done in the past.

Second, over the past few months a recruiting campaign for people to serve on draft boards across the country has quietly taken place. An announcement of the need to fill these positions was posted on the Defend America government website, but was promptly removed after it was brought to the attention of the media.

-snip-

This writer did not mention the Medical or upcoming Special Skills DRAFT which will take men or women up to Age 44, with only "essential community need" as a deferment. They will need tens of thousands of programmers to develop the tracking, security and other software for full deployment of the new Airborne Laser program (testing this year).

1. Anyone who believes there won't be a draft in 2005
is in for a very rude awakening.

I won't say they are foolish or stupid or gullible.

However, perhaps they will stop believing the lies that come out of this administration in torrents.
