The Dems are talking out of both sides of their mouths and showing their true colors. Our military must be so humiliated.

It may be recalled that :
1.The war ended in the European theatre on 8th May, 1945.
2.Representatives of 50 nations signed the Charter of the
UN, at SanFrancisco on 26th June,1945.
3. Big Three Allied leaders met at Potsdam(Germany) on 24th
July,1945. They agreed on the peace settlement
with Germany and drew up plans forJapan's surrender and
occupation.
How , then, Truman could order dropping of atom bomb on
Hiroshima on the 13th day after Potsdam Conference and on 16th on Nagasaki?

Will the military pay for a reverse vasectomy? My husband got one right after we got married and I know its something we should have thought about a little better at the time but now we want to get a reversal. They paid for the vasectomy but I'm just wondering about the reversal, or is something we will have to pay for? thanks for any info you have on this!

Selective Service plans test of draft equipment
VA secretary, White House insist policy has not changed

The Associated Press



The Selective Service System is making plans to test its draft machinery in case Congress and President Bush need it, even though the White House says it doesn�t want to bring back the draft.

The agency is planning a comprehensive test � not run since 1998 � of its military draft systems, a Selective Service official said. The test itself would not likely occur until 2009.

Scott Campbell, the service�s director for operations and chief information officer, cautioned that the �readiness exercise� does not mean the agency is gearing up to resume the draft.

�We�re kind of like a fire extinguisher. We sit on a shelf,� Campbell said. �Unless the president and Congress get together and say, �Turn the machine on� ... we�re still on the shelf.�

Veterans Affairs Secretary R. James Nicholson prompted speculation about the draft Thursday when he told reporters in New York that �society would benefit� if the U.S. were to bring back the draft. Later, he issued a statement saying he does not support reinstituting a draft.

The administration has for years forcefully opposed bringing back the draft, and the White House said Thursday that policy has not changed and no proposal to reinstate the draft is being considered.

The �readiness exercise� would test the system that randomly chooses draftees by birth date and its network of appeal boards that decide how to deal with conscientious objectors and others who want to delay reporting for duty, Campbell said.

The Selective Service will start planning for the 2009 tests next June or July, although budget cuts could force the agency to cancel them, Campbell said.

President Bush said this week he is considering sending more troops to Iraq and has asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates to look into adding more troops to the nearly 1.4 million uniformed personnel on active duty.

According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, increasing the Army by 40,000 troops would cost as much as $2.6 billion the first year and $4 billion after that. Military officials have said the Army and Marine Corps want to add as many as 35,000 more troops.

Recruiting new forces and retaining current troops is more complicated because of the unpopular war in Iraq. In recent years, the Army has accepted recruits with lower aptitude test scores.

Rep. Charles Rangel, a New York Democrat, plans to introduce a bill next year to reinstate the draft. House Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has said such a proposal would not be high on the Democratic-led Congress� priority list.

The military drafted people during the Civil War and both world wars and between 1948 and 1973. Reincorporated in 1980, the Selective Service System maintains a registry of 18-year-old men, but call-ups have not occurred since the Vietnam War
