A Military Draft will make our Sails Draw Better!
Let's face it; the best way to deal with this mess we're in is to bring back
the draft. It should never have been stopped anyway. Look at what we now have: A small bunch of weekend warriors, many of whom are poorly trained and inadequately lead. Most never expecting to be in a firefight, and want to go home. A lot of these men and women looked at the reserves as a part-time job. Bring back the draft. Make it much more difficult to get a deferment. Make every male (Females have little business in the military) serve two years in the military before the age of 25, and then 4 years in the reserves. Make certain they are paid a decent wage, and get decent benefits both before and after their service. Also make certain that they understand that military service is just that: MILITARY. That means fighting and dying for your country's survival! A large, well trained force, ready to go at a moment's notice is a strong deterrent. This small, weak force, managed like some kind of lean cooperate entity with business school methods just doesn't cut it. Don't they remeber eco 101: Guns or Butter? We have a force that has been decimated by the Liberals and mismanaged by the Conservatives. It may cost us less, but It will not work! |
What we really need is more wind distributed across the country. Then we'll
have some use for the draft. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Recobee" wrote in message ... Let's face it; the best way to deal with this mess we're in is to bring back the draft.
