Well...you can ask.
Barack Obama really has no idea what he’ll do.
They would almost have to bring back the draft. People wouldn’t volunteer to serve under Obama or Billary.
Exactly, Obama intends a Military draft indeed and it will include all the open Gays in America...
Mr. Obama has called for nearly 100,000 more Marines and soldiers to be brought on board, if he is elected.
A draft may well be necessary, although a higher unemployment figure might make military service more inviting to desparate job seekers.
Talk of a draft from the radical left, at this point, is just their filthy politics in play as usual, nothing new. Always remember, that LIBERALS ACCUSE THEIR OPPONENTS OF DOING EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO.
Right out of the liberal play book.
Did he ever sign up for the selective service? Just asking.
without a draft there is little reason for the anti-military types to protest...a draft is a MUST for the far left, in order to give them leverage in the WOT...right now they have no leverage or power....therefore, the draft will be re-institued under a dem president and congress
Well, he’s for “change,” and there’s no draft, so to change things he would need to institute a draft.
My kids wont be going into a draft for the socialist/islamic armies of the night, of Barack Hussein Obama.
He'll need that many to protect D.C.
Funny how rats blame others for their own desires.
Anyway, the pages may still be in the wayback machine at Archive.org.
And what would be wrong with a draft?
The only draft that guy could establish would be if he left the front door open.
Besides, Mr. Obama has NO idea of what he would do as president because he doesn’t stand for anything except more government and abortions.
The man has no sand.
We have 10 active Army Divisions at this time.
We didn’t need a draft when we had around 20 or 24 Army Divisions in the 1970’s and 80’s.. And our population is 100 million more than the 70’s.
There are 2 reasons the liberals want a Draft:
1. As you stated, a Draft gives them something to hang their anti-War protests on, and
2. It allows them to extend the social indoctrination of the public school systems to those that don’t go to college (at least not right away).
3. Provisional reason: it allows them to fight THEIR wars. This is a self-deception because large Draft Armies are always better looking on paper than they are in fact. But hey, they’re cheaper.
Say draft and the Jane Fondas of the world start licking their chops..
NY SUN: RANGEL VOTES AGAINST OWN BILL TO RENEW DRAFT
WASHINGTON - The House of Representatives yesterday voted overwhelmingly against a proposal to reinstate the military draft, in what some members said was an attempt to end rumors that the Bush administration has a “secret plan” to draft young people after the November elections.
(snip)
Rep. Charles Rangel, a Democrat of New York, helped defeat the legislation he had introduced in January 2003, and which Republican leaders put to a quick and unexpected vote yesterday.
Mr. Rangel, a veteran of the Korean War, said it was a “disgrace” that the proposed Universal National Service Act received only 40 minutes of debate.

Of course. The last thing that Obama wants in the military are people who want to be there!
