It's time to bring back the military draft!

[FishaHallic]

I think it's time to start up the draft again.  Here we are in a small war in Afghanistan and a larger one in Iraq and we are out of troops.  Many times in the last few months we here of the troop shortages and now there calling for more troops in Iraq and we don't know where the troops will come from.  If we are really in a war on terror (I believe we are) as GW says then we will need more troops sooner or later.  It could take at least a year to revamp the draft and get troops trained so we need to start now.

The Israeli's have mandatory military service for its population and it works for them.  They complete there military training and a short stint in the military and they go back to civilian life until needed then they can recall them as needed.  Now Israel is a lot smaller country than the United States and must do it this way in order to survive.  With our war on Terror we could end up needing a large number of troops in a short time frame if some of the rogue states like Iran or North Korea get a wild hair.  Radical Islam has declared war on the west and we need to be prepared this would also send a message to any of our enimies that we are in this war until the end.

I know i shouldnt but........Yeah, lets send more kids to die for an unwinnable(is that a word) war that was started based on lies. The only one who thinks we can win is the delusional G(dumbass)W. We should get out of iraq, and concentrate on finding the real terrorist Bin Laden and conquering Al-queda.

Okay im good for a little while.

Thats the problem, too many people think someone else should teach their kids respect and discipline. We should worry about teaching our own.

When I say bring back the draft it is not necessarily for the war in Iraq but more for the war on terror that will be going on for decades.

All the military in the world is not going to stop terrorism. It didnt stop the unibomber, the Oklahoma bomber(s), and it hasnt stopped Al-Queda. People need to stop listening to the propaganda and scare tactics of the Bush admin and wake up to reality.

What do you think we should do convert to Islam because that is the only thing that will stop them that or kill them which would be the preferred option.

Somebody bring me a draft. Like a bud

Bring BACK THE DRAFT?!?! I really thought there were a few more members here with a bit of sense. I cannot belive that you want to bring back the draft? The only reason we dont have more troops in Iraq is because of congress and people like you! Congress is made up of a bunch of spinless liberals that just vote aginst anthing bush proposes. Sure fish you want to bring back the draft. Your in your 40's. All you got to do is work for a few more years then its all good. You can sit back and play golf and watch people that dont want to be somewhere getting shot at. Im 15 and have my whole life ahead of me. I dont want to spend it in a sandbox when there are people that voluntarly signed up to fight in a war. Bush has tried to get 20,000 more troops in Iraq but congress wont let him. We could draft the entrie country but they wont be allowed to go anywhere because of Nancy Pilowski and friends. Bringing back the draft would be as bad as leaving. OMG I cannot belive the people here.... BTW trx please, you post in evey political discussion yet you have nothing of any value or factual knowledge to say. If you have an intellegent comment then post it. Otherwise save it for the kids section.

I hope your little ass gets sent to Iraq. And don't tell be were I can post or I'll spank you over my knee like a little baby. I like How you support the war until you hear there might be a draft and you might have to go, just like your Republican leaders lets go to war but not with my kids.

Spinless liberals huh, I quess you didn't read my post on "Political Post" thread that said we can discuss politics if we don't revert to name calling and childish banter.  Anyway Nancy Pelosi has only been in office for less than 3 days and its her fault that we can't get 20,000 more troops for Iraq, I think NOT.  The fact is the only reason the military has even come close to fulfilling its requirments is that it lowered the requirements of incoming troops, meaning they take just about anyone who volunteers now.  The military has also got to the point of giving large bonuses for those who resign.

I'm sorry for those that would get drafted but if we don't gear up for the fight now it will be too late later.  I know your only 15 and are not worried about having a future family at this time but after a while you will and who will protect them?  Give up a little now so the world can be a safer place later.  One last thing, I am in my 40s, 46 to be exact but trust me I have a lot more than a few more years to work and yes I like to golf but if you look at my screen name FishaHallic you will know that if I'm gonna sit back and do anything it will be FISH  .

Hey I just realized something yesterday Mud Mule I mean Swamp Donkey  said I didn't have a brain and today I was called spin less, I wonder what tomorrow may bring?   

[AintSkeered]

Let's draft young people to serve in U.S. hospitals to relieve the nursing shortage, high costs of healthcare and the pain/suffering of war veterans!

[svtbolt04]

Fish, are you willing to go?

[CABLEGUY1]

Fishahallic I'm only kidding.You did leave yourself open for that one though.

[FishaHallic]

I don't think the military is desparate enough to draft a slightly over weight, middle aged, bad back, brainless, spin less white guy    but if they did you know I would go.
