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.

Regardless, you posted this as a red herring to attempt to show that the
Republicans are trying to create a draft. Besides the very simple fact
that
this isn't a draft, the bill never passed. Since Republicans control the
House, if they supported the bill, it would have passed. Ergo, they don't
support the mandatory military training bill...nor do they support a
draft.



Your patience is absolutely incredible!

My mom taught special ed for 10 years. Her patience and skills must have
rubbed off on me.

Obviously so. You need to give your mom a big pat on the back.
