Fritz wrote: Noted is how doug ran from the draft question..........only liebrals in congress have been calling for a draft. 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". I take it that you didn't comprehend THIS part: SEC. 3. BASIC MILITARY TRAINING AND EDUCATION. (a) OBLIGATION FOR YOUNG MEN- It is the obligation of every male citizen of the United States, and every other male person residing in the United States, who is between the ages of 18 and 22 to receive basic military training and education as a member of the armed forces unless the citizen or person is exempted under the provisions of this Act Notice the "as a member of the armed forces" part? As a "member of the armed forces", you do what you are told. You'd have no more right to refuse to go war than the "members of the armed forces" do right now. It calls for "training and education" and possible participation in a "national service program". There is no provision for conscription into active duty. There's no provision for lots of surprises in the military, but things happen anyway. |
