    That is the point I am trying to get across :)

    That is an excellent and motivating quote. :rock:

      This is not Vietnam or WWIII. Like the Democrats like to portray it. US soldiers are not dying by the hundreds a day or thousands like in Vietnam and WWI and II.

      There's no need for the draft like the Demo. said. We have more than enough reserve and volunteers. I agree with Sen. McCain and Pres. Bush.

      But... if the Demo. ever reinstate this, and I got called, I will definately go.

        i just had to write a 20 page paper on the need for a US military draft... cant physically write about it any more. haha.

        here is the bill, if anyone is interested. it deals a lot with non-military mandatory service, but i was able to sort of pick it apart and find that its just a reworded draft.

              Well, thanks for showing your patriotism. Go oversea's and tell all the soldiers there why you don't have to worry, I'm sure they will laugh just as well.

              I've been run over by a forklift, so my leg is shot to hell, I am an only child, and if they wanted me to go shoot a gun at an enemy, I'm in.

                  Yep, yours. You must not have been in the same units and talked to the soldiers I have.

                      All I can say is that I'm glad a lot of the Demo. don't agree with this either. So I don't think it will pass.

                        Wow, Okay. I'm really glad you've had a peachy time in your military service, and thank you for serving, but my point was that not everyone in the military is happy to be there.

                        This thread isn't about you and me, and this isn't going to turn into a pissing contest, so keep it on topic.

                          Why do we still talk about this every year? Someone brings up a new bill for the draft every single year just to be quickly shot down but yet, we still talk about it...Why?

                            Because we have nothing else to spend our time on?

                              K, first...
                              the soldiers that are overseas, signed themselves up.

                              and if you want to go shoot a gun at the enemy, then do it.. and don't wait for the draft if you feel so strong about it.

                              and for those of us who dont care to go over there to sand land, leave it be.
