4. Yea...
It was a recruiter. And he leaves a voicemail saying that if he doesn't report to him that it would be a violation of federal law....

7. more here-
"I told him I am a volunteer firefighter and eventually I'm going to try to get a career in that," Monarch said. "I'm just not interested in that any more and I just hung up the phone."

But Kelt called back and left this message.

"Hey Chris, this is Sgt. Kelt with the army, man. I think we
got disconnected. Okay, I know you were on your cell, probably, and just had a bad connection or something like that. I know you didn't hang up on me. Anyway, by federal law you got an appointment with me at 2 o'clock this afternoon. You fail to appear and we'll have a warrant. Okay? So give me a call back."

3. LMAO.....
That was stupid, he should have never put that on a voicemail system....

But you know, I don't blame the recruiters, ultimately it is the American people that have went along with the policies of this government that must accept the blame....

8. I'll Blame Them When They Use Lies and Threats to Meet Their Quota

How much of this has been going on and for how long?
Did we only get to hear about this one because the dumbs$!# recruiter
left his threat on voicemail so there is evidence?

Have they actually started up the draft, and just didn't bother to tell anyone?

9. Don't worry, they'll sneak the draft in on a federal highways bill...
...or something, then it will be perfectly legal to say stuff like that.
