Bad News.

I got this from the Selective service website..

Notwithstanding recent stories in the news media and on the Internet, Selective Service is not getting ready to conduct a draft for the U.S. Armed Forces -- either with a special skills or regular draft.

Well I checked out the site and it's a bit more comforting.

I just can't see the Bush administration being able to pull this off unless something major happens. The way things are just being pushed ahead regardless of how much support there is bothers me.

There are a lot of sheep out there... you'd be suprised what a conservative politician can get away with without reprecussions. Are you familiar with Sen. Bill Jankleow from South Dakota and his driving record? There were people out there who knew about that and they didnt do anything till he killed someone.

comming from a country that has a draft I dont have any thing against it

a) look at the source. don't sound very credible
b) the militarty doesn't want a draft

the chances of a draft happening are very slim.

what is "the draft"?

um 😕
does that mean war?

no, some countries have a draft cause they dont have manpower enough to supply a military based on volunteers only.
If USA reinstated the draft though it would raise suspicion towards the decision to do so

that still doesnt answer my question though!

so NO isnt a good enough answer to the question "Does that mean war?"

no it isnt 😠

i meant my first question sweets 😬 😮 😛

what is "the draft"?

mandatory military service

aaah, like in the movie. i cant remember what it's called but its cartoon sort of. um! oh god what is it?

well anyway, i personally think war is horrible schmoll

indeed....

war is indeed horrible but sometimes a necessity

Not if the US reinstates it so they can invade new countries.

still, war is sometimes needed
