Stop The Draft Before It Starts

3-1-5

On March 31, the Selective Service System will report to President Bush that it is ready to implement a draft within 75 days. We have to organize now to stop the draft before it starts.

Despite what politicians say, there is a high probability that the Bush Administration will attempt to reinstate the draft.

1. Is anyone keeping count of all the Republican flip-flops?

2. When the next terrorist attack comes

the public will call him a courageous leader for having prepared the nation.

He is slipping in the polls, the Democrats aren't all bending over on Social Security, it is time for terror.

3. If you think wars should be last resorts

then there is no other way to ensure that, other than the draft. It will focus these gung-ho for war bozos' brains in a second. This is the price we have to pay (and ultimately, it is only right that we all pay for needed wars) to live with these crazed war-mongers.

Dont fight the draft, it is our best ally right now...

5. Let the gung ho bozos pay with THEIR kids...not MINE

let them pay with their own lives....

There ARE solutions other than war..even as a last resort there are always options.

I agree the "threat" of a draft is our ally...actually drafting people I love...not my ally.....

9. I agree.. The Draft is probably responsible for most Liberal aspects of

our society. If it were not for the draft we probably would not have the GI Bill or Social Security, or Labor Laws. Most liberal tenets (I believe) are fall out from the draft. People have to be close to losing something extremely precious before they act, it would appear. You want to stop these types of wars like what's going on now? Have the mothers of the US asked to send their child. Iraq would never have happened if we had a Draft. IMHO

12. the draft will

( I would hope) give all the warmongers a reality check when they realize it might actually be THEIR kid over there getting blown up. I think public opinion will change real fast about this misadventure.

7. They've been 75 days away for decades

Mrs. gratuitous was on the draft board for 20 years, completing the maximum term in 2002. Selective Service has been 75 days away from reinstituting the draft ever since the 1970s when the draft was ended.

Those big drums wait patiently and expectantly for the day when they can be rolled out, and their ghastly little capsules again cracked open and read for the winners of the death lotto.

8. This guy called Ed Schultz yesterday...

He has been enlisted for 23 years and was up for retirement in six months. They have denied him his retirement for another year following the six months and have the authority to do it up to FIVE MORE YEARS!!!! They are killing our soldiers shamelessly!

10. It makes me wonder about all the hasty legislation after 9/11

Is it possible that buried in the thousands upon thousands of pages of legislation passed within the wake of 9/11 that some obscure passage could be deemed to give the president authority to reinstate the draft by presidential decree?

11. What's keeping me up nights is a "special skills draft"

I'm not afraid for me, I'm a pudgy Art History grad student.
No, I'm afraid for my hubby. He's an engineer, working for a defense contractor. He was nearly sent to Kuwait BEFORE the invasion as an employee of the company. And he's well within the draft age, if it gets extended to 34.

13. I don't know anything about the sources you listed.

I doubt very much that you'll see a draft anytime soon.

What you are seeing is the mandatory extension of those currently in the military, and the coersion of young, impressionable kids, being offered thousands of $$ sign-up bonus and a promise of how great they'd look in that uniform!

14. Am I missing something?

Isn't it the job of the Selective Service System to be prepaired for a draft?

It is the law that males over 18 register for the draft. So Selective Service is ALWAYS gathering these names.

Wouldn't they NOT be doing their jobs if they weren't prepaired for a draft? What else do these people have to do? Are they supposed to NOT get ready for a draft?

Do you think they WEREN'T prepaired for a draft in the 90's? 80's?
