    It's like I said, the larger part of the problem is structural. Too many important non-combat functions are available primarily through the Guard and Reserves. The Army needs to expand its active duty forces to include those functions so that we aren't keeping these guys on duty three or four years at a time. Ruining careers and family life like that kinda has a way of severely ****ing up retention.

      Considering I would not know which end of the rifle to hold, and which end will shoot the bullet, I doubt they would want to draft me.


      Not to mention the pitiful ugly fashion statement of the army's fatigue pattern on its clothing.

        That's what boot camp is for.

          My mortality rate would increase by 200% if I were subjected to the rigors of boot camp, so as a dead person, I would be worthless.

                        Maybe he'll do it if he gets reelected, and then implement a Starhip Troopers-type citizenship system, where you have to serve if you want to be able to vote and use government facilities...

                          Charlie Rangel also supports the draft. His point is more about punishing whitey tho' vs. actual need for troops. He sees the demographics of the armed forces slanted so that black make up a disproportianate share vs. demographics of America. Hence his solution is the draft to kill more whiteys.

                            So the US should hire African 'peacemakers' as auxiliary troops to deploy 'anywhere in the world' in order that US legions can be freed for combat duty? (see the article I posted earlier). I think it is a bit immoral to hire poor black people to do the job for rich decadent white people. But it will be accepted because they are from Africa, and not the States.

                              I don't want their to be a draft, but I hope there is one because it would be the end of these retarded neo-con policies.
                              To us, it is the BEAST.

                                Or rather, the tie-dressed man is sending the green-dressed man to kill the towel-dressed man
