Will Bush try to bring back the Draft if elected to a Second Term?

[greblc]

He is exhausting our Military and has no other option if he wants to continue His war.

"O' Canada" ...

I have two Boys 9 & 6 and I would do anything to help them if they choose to avoid invouluntary service. There is no pride in fighting or dying for something you don't believe in.

1. May not Come Back

If Bush is elected we will not be coming back. We have two sons, 23 and 19. We will have them come and live in New Zealand. On the outside looking in; I can't belive how nasty a place the States are to live in! We will not sacrific our sons for America!

6. are you in New Zealand now???

8. If You Go

I hope you enjoy the Taxes and the Crime.

Having been there, I was so happy to get back to America that I didn't care (for a few days anyway) there was a Republican in the White House. I told my superior's to send somebody else next time Down Under.

About the crime...Ever since they made owning firearms almost completely illegal, crime has soared. It seems that the only people disarmed were the people that lawfully possessed firearms. And now they are trying to confiscate antique swords and blades. America is sane compared to New Zealand.

2. He'll have no choice but to institute a draft

if he's going have enough manpower to take over the rest of the Middle East. Fourteen permanent U.S. military bases are being built in Iraq even as we speak.

As I understand it, everyone through age 35 will be eligible, regardless of gender, income or marital, or employment status. College and Canada will not be option. It could start as early as next spring if Bush wins. It's being called a "special skills" draft, but if it's anything like their "clear skies initiative," they will classify being able to breathe on your own as a special skill.

9. The Draft.

Kerry says that he wants to increase the size of the Army by 40,000 troops. So how is he going to do it? The only people that are saying “Bring Back the Draft” are Demos. The Repubs haven’t said “Draft” since Reagan wanted every 18 year old male to at least register in the Selective Service in case of “National Emergency”, if I remember the phrase correctly.

I hate to say this, but I’m starting to trust Kerry less and less each day. From the beginning I was, and I still am, a Dean follower. If Kerry keeps showing that he is an incompetent contender for the Presidency, come November I may not vote for either of those two men.

10. The Repubs haven't said "Draft" because it wouldn't get them re-elected

And the kind of draft the Dems called for would require EVERYONE to go--including the Repub's kids, no "special skills" allowed!

3. Yes, for his four more wars

Likely candidates (in order of likelihood): Iran, N. Korea, Syria, China

And I'm only 19 :scared::nuke::scared::nuke:

4. If Bush is re-elected

All hell will break loose. Maybe in the end he'll be hung for war, and corporate crimes.

5. ONe thing I think he is doing.....bringing what 70,000 troops back to

usa....at the same time......saying certain jobs in military are going away....solider has a choice, leave or transfer to Army with same rank and pay.....since there aren't jobs.....some will stay in...go into the ARmy...and go to Iraq.....

so the Navy, Air Force and others will have jobs go away...to be replaced with Army./....ground troopss...

And no I don't have link....this is my summation/connections from about 4-5 stories I have read over the last couple of weeks...

Most look like isolated events. But pulling the pieces together forms the picture.

7. Of course not- he will just sabotage the economy of the politically weak

...and then recruit those people without options- you know-the ones Arnold called "Economic Girlie Men..."

You guys need to understand that that is the plan.

No Repub will ever be stupid enough to non-serving meat-head vote against the GOP...
