Another idiotic, fact free statement from Fritz!!! Here's the
truth,
Fritz, taking for account that you can comprehend anything:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c107:H.R.3598:

That comes up blank for me, at least in Netscape. Wanna summarize
it?

It's a bill that calls for mandatory military *training* and
*education* for all males aged 18-22. There is no provision in the
bill to transfer a trainee to active duty and ship him over
seas...although there is a provision to complete the training in a
"national service program".

It's hardly a "draft".

It should be defeated on its face. Mandatory "military" training
indeed, and only for males? B.S.

The IDF has mandatory duty requirements...as does Belarus, Brazil,
Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Cypress, Egypt, Finland, Germany, Greece,
Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore,
South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, and
Venezuela.

This bill isn't calling for draftees to enter active duty. Instead,
it's calling for mandatory military training and education, so that
we're ready on a moments notice if a draft becomes necessary. I don't
necessarily support it, because I don't think it's needed at the
moment. However, as we continue to head further down this collision
course we're on with China, it might become prudent and necessary.


Would you support the idea of no exclusions for *any* reason, including
physical handicaps, college, etc?

No. All of the aforementioned countries have exceptions...as should we.

No. It's too easy for rich parents to stick their kid in grad school,
while a poor kid might not get that opportunity.

Baloney. My parents weren't poor nor rich. But I paid for my own "grad
school" through loans.


As far as physical handicaps, the
military contains just about every type of job that exists for civilians.
If you can work outside the military, you can work within it.

I guess that depends on the severity of the handicap, doesn't it? There are
all sorts of people who don't work in the civilian world due to physical
and/or mental handicaps.

Gee whiz - I guess it does, but we're not talking about extremes here, like
someone who spends their days strapped in a wheelchair with severe CP. We're
talking about things that someone can point to and say "It hurts if I lift
too much sometimes".

program!
