The House of Representatives yesterday overwhelmingly rejected a Democrat-sponsored bill to revive a military draft in a last-minute vote scheduled by its Republican leadership to squelch rumors that the Bush administration is planning to reinstitute mandatory military service.
"For two months — especially on college campuses — they've used the draft as a fear tactic to get people to vote against George W. Bush," House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, Texas Republican, said of Democrats.

"We've had enough of that. We're going to call them on it. The Democrats are the only people that have a bill instituting the draft; we're going to bring it out there, and we're going to put a nail in it."
Mr. DeLay said Democrats, including Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, have started "rumor campaigns" that Republicans are planning to restart the draft.
Mr. Kerry has said several times on the campaign trail that President Bush might use a draft, including yesterday, in Tipton, Iowa, when he listed "the possibility of a draft" among his reasons that voters might be motivated to support him.
Yesterday's draft bill — sponsored by Rep. Charles B. Rangel, New York Democrat — was defeated 402-2, with even Mr. Rangel voting against the proposal that called for reinstituting the practice abandoned in 1973 when the military converted to an all-volunteer force.

A single nutjob Democrat in Congress has floated the bill in the past because he thinks an all-volunteer military is "racist", but apparently forcing people to serve is A-OK.
To my knowledge the bill has never left committee.

That all we need . The military already has it's fair share of sh*tbirds.
I'd rather go in 20 strong than 100 weak .

I don't believe that. Hilary hasn't even said she was going to run yet much less be nominated.
