Funny how the democrats (Charles Rangel, D-NY) introduce a draft bill and then use the threat of a draft to scare people away from voting for Bush. Crap like this is why I'm helping an incompetent fool get re-elected, by throwing my vote away on a third party.

That's interesting, thanks. Could you elaborate? (I don't know any military folks very well so I can't ask them)
Are you suggesting that we defend the insufferable ignorance of Bush supporters?Originally posted by: TastesLikeChicken

RBH'rs claim the intellectual highground, sniff endlessly about the insufferable ignorance of Bush supporters, and then post responses like this.
It kind of throws cold water on that claim.
Now, I've proposed adding two active-duty divisions to the armed forces of the United States -- one combat, one support.
In addition, I'm going to double the number of Special Forces so that we can fight a more effective war on terror, with less pressure on the National Guard and Reserve. And what I would like to do is see the National Guard and Reserve be deployed differently here in our own country. There's much we can do with them with respect to homeland security. We ought to be doing that. And that would relieve an enormous amount of pressure.

that means they were not only thinking of a mandatory draft but getting ready for it too.

I don't see how this could be done without a draft to assist with the "currently stretched thin" military. I don't think that there will be a draft with either presidents. 1. I don't think it's needed and 2. I think that Kerry doesn't fully understands what he said above.
