Gee, it looks like you finally read post 402 although you still insisting in adding your own text to STILL contradict it’s meaning and actual words.
You could save so much time if you would just try to focus on our posts and quit letting your mind wander around.

You might also learn to make fewer posts and fewer just saying nothing.

I read it previously.

From the poll, you try to guess what would happen if Tea Party people shared your obsessive concern with homosexuality.

From the poll, I note how much larger their organization is because they are not obsessively concerned with homosexuality as you appear to be. Perhaps big enough to win a few victories at the polls.

[donmeaker]

There is a difference between people dead and people who fought.

You have a classic nonsequiteur.

[ansel12]

You really are just lazily trolling, I think you are drinking with nothing to do, and you can’t bring your mind to focus on anything, you need everything to be repeated over and over and still can’t make out what you read.

Of Americans who served in Vietnam about 25% of them were draftees, in WWII about 66% of those serving were draftees.

[donmeaker]

And people volunteered for Army REMF jobs, Air Force jobs, Navy jobs, but were drafted into Army combat jobs.

I was there. I saw the draft/volunteer games.

[ansel12]

Lol, yeah you really don’t like those tea partiers.

To: xxxx
If you push for any part of the homosexual agenda on FR, you get the zot. FR is pro-God, pro-Life, pro-family. If you can’t handle that, then take a hike.

Don’t have a problem with Jim’s post.

I rather like the Tea Party, and its decision to base its activity around fiscal responsibility.

[donmeaker]

Draftees vs. Volunteers:

25% (648,500) of total forces in country were draftees. (66% of U.S. armed forces members were drafted during WWII.)

Draftees accounted for 30.4% (17,725) of combat deaths in Vietnam.

Reservists killed: 5,977.

National Guard: 6,140 served in Vietnam; 101 died.

Total draftees (1965-73): 1,728,344.

Actually served in Vietnam: 38%

This leaves out the large numbers of National Guard and Reservists who didn’t serve in Vietnam. Generally the rule was you stayed in touch with your recruiter, and after you got your draft letter, you went down and volunteered for a position in the supply services, or the Air Force, pretending that you hadn’t gotten your draft letter.

So, was such a person drafted or not? Did they dodge the draft by volunteering? Clinton dodged the draft in part using ROTC.

[donmeaker]

Odd that you think that only homosexuals can be competent. I disagree with you on that.

You seemed to think that my support of a competent military was supporting homosexuals in the military. It isn’t. Rather, I support competence in the military.

[ansel12]

Man you love your little personal tales, songs and plays and Rorschach posters over data and facts.

A lot of us served during the war and well remember the draft, were even eligible for it and dealt with it as Americans had for about 32 years, that is why your recruiting of homosexuals as preferred military claims are so laughable.

Of the fighting men killed in combat, the none “REMF jobs, Air Force jobs, Navy jobs” about 70% of them were volunteers, unlike WWII when about 70% were draftees.

Gee that puts us back at post 418 which you were to supposed to have already read.
“”Vietnam war dead, are roughly reversed with about 70% of the WWII dead being draftees and about 70% of the Vietnam dead being volunteers.””

Whether it is drinking or some kind of disability or medications, you aren’t playing with a full deck but instead are just trolling.

"Of the fighting men killed in combat, the none “REMF jobs, Air Force jobs, Navy jobs” about 70% of them were volunteers, unlike WWII when about 70% were draftees."

What were you trying to say?

[shego]

From your Chicken Little checklist of consequences that would supposedly result from rolling back Big Government:

A total and complete destruction of American culture?

Game, Set, Match.

From your Chicken Little checklist of consequences that would supposedly result from rolling back Big Government:

shego, what in the devil are you talking about? I keep asking you to explain why you keep making up these false statements but you won't explain.

This is a forum, our words are typed out, you have to show where I am saying all these statements and quotes you keep talking about. Where did I even mention ""rolling back Big Government"" much less a list of negative consequences from the very thing that I so strongly support?
