Will the pot smokers and other dopers get a special exemption?
McChrystal already has a draft. It whistles in one ear and out the other.
They also ruled Dredd Scott was basically a stolen car, that separate but equal was legal, that forced busing was hunky dory, that abortion is cool, that forcing Americans of japanese ancestry into cencentration camps was legal, that Obama care can force us to buy a product, that growing grain to feed your own animals on the same farm is “interstate commerce”. And they are about to tell us that homo marriage is a right.
And they have shredded the 4th amendment for the war on drugs, and are fine with the government intercepting every email and text we send.
The supreme court has always been a joke, following the trend of the moment. During wartime, they decide anything the government does is fine. The famous “fire in a crowded theater” analogy was confirming that it wa fine to arrest a man who was passing out handbills opposing the draft.
The supremes have probably approved the draft, but they were lawless to do so.
I want to see a McChrystol book where he prints up the emails between him and the Tampa housewife socialite, part-time honorary korean ambassador.
Petraeus and Allen who followed him had thousands. Are we to believe McChystol who held the same post, and lived the high life with Rolling stone reporters, and dinner trips to Paris, while he deprived his troops had no email relationship (or more) with her?
Yes, bring it back, but like this...
Draft for National Service, military typing pool, hairdresser, band, etc.
Volunteer for combat.
Besides, I’m about to turn 64, you young whippersnappers need to get to work so you’ll stay off my lawn!
“Bring back the draft?” For what, forcible sodomy and lifetimes of unemployment lines after enlistments end?
This is for the future.
Once we end up with an entire FEMALE JCS, women in submarines, the homos overrun the military, etc
VIRILE young lads will NOT be going in, so there will be no one to fight because the shes and he/shes will be afraid to break a nail or something.
Like one poster said, this is the 60 Hippys come full cycle.
Amazing, ‘we’ went and fought to allow them to ruin ‘us’ in the long run....
Probably should have taken them out way back when....
Israel has a universal draft with the partial exception of the haredim, and its population is much more right-wing that American Jews, to the point that 2/3 of Israeli Jews supported Romney, whereas 1/3 of American Jews did so. Minorities who go through the military end up being more right-wing than the rest of their demographic. I think it's an excellent idea.
After the stoooopidity of talking to Rolling Stone, the gun grab comment and now this, maybe he needed to be fired...an idiot.
Will not buy his book.
It’s time for this officer to use the freaking brain God gave him. And people wonder why I had a problem with officers in the Army.
O it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, go away”;
But it’s “Thank you, Mister Atkins”, when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it’s “Thank you, Mister Atkins”, when the band begins to play.
Little too much posting here from people who want others to do the dirty work they feel they are too good for.
Bring back the draft.
No. The draft is wrong and stupid.
do you want an army of people who don’t want to be there?
plus, in my mind, a draft is slavery
There is perhaps a suspicion among leftist elites that the volunteer military is composed of the more TRADITIONALLY patriotic and that a diluting of the ranks with, ah, REGULAR Americans will leave the force more likely to follow orders that the more tratitionally patriotic may balk at.
First thing that popped into my mind, actually...
Stanley McChrystal is a servant of the Usurper. A gutless coward and a traitor to his country.
Not just “no” but “Hell No!”
No indentured servitude to this government. The fact that a communist punk like Obambi can be elected is enough to convince me that NOBODY should be forced to “serve” the government if they choose not to do so.
