US Preparing for Military Draft in Spring 2005
Rain:
kicking people out of a democracy for making a choice does sound good.
or another way to avoid having those type in the military could just be not to conscript and go to wars that alot of people don't want to fight.
Suffice:
Dumbass, if my country was being invaded and my family was endagered i would definitely volunteer to fight. But when a country like U.S. forces a war on a small country because they got nothing better to do, i'm not willing to die or get injured because Texaco's annual income is dropping .34 percent, or because the U.S. Wants yet another military base in the Middle East.
smerlus:
well to understand the draft we have to look at it's history:
the first unofficial draft was during the revolutionary war - good cause
the first official draft was duing WWI - good cause
second use WWII - good cause
Korean conflict - depends on your point of view
Viet Nam war - once again depends on your view but the majority swing to abuse of the draft
after that the draft was ended
now in 2005 it might be reinstated
does this mean all 18 year olds are going to find themselves in iraq for summer vacation? no because the majority of military personel are going to be pulled out by then.
does this mean there is going to be an unscheduled war in 2005? negative
what this does mean is that the united states military is having a hard time recruiting and retaining military members...and a draft will help them meet thier quotas...
