why would making 18-24 yr olds submit to the draft end somebody's career?..you aren't talking about any major

Question

voting block in the overall scheme of things..plenty of people would love to see that generation learn some self respect..and be trained in a useful career..free college money..VA loans for a home..

Answer 1

I've been registered for the draft since I turned 18, but I ended up enlisting.

I agree with The Dude.

I don't like the draft. My reasons have nothing to do with human rights and everything to do with the fact that I wouldn't be able to trust my life to the guy who got drafted. Lack of trust makes for weakness.

Answer 2

It wouldn't. That's a bunch of propaganda. I'm one of those plenty of people who think it's a great idea. Turn eighteen go into the military. It opens the world to many who would have never gotten the opportunity. It teaches self-respect and respect for others and it is a shared experience they will never forget. Unless we get involved in a real war, most people in the military would never see combat. It is not the responsibility of the United States to be the military end of the UN or the world's police. Our military in the absence of a true military threat against the United States, is for the DEFENSE of our nation, not to be used in conflicts like Vietnam and now Iraq.

Answer 3

Here's the scenario that could lead to the draft:

The Pakistani president receives 60 million dollars a month, that's a month, from the Bush administration to remain on speaking terms with Bush.

Pakistan's president is not interested in anything but saving himself and his presidency which he is failing to do. At any point in the next few weeks, he could be deposed.

If this happens, al-Qaida and fundamentalist Islamics will then take control of the government and possess their goal--the ultimate weapon, nuclear missiles.

India and China should be worried. India probably is, but China is sitting back and watching the current conflagration between the West and Islamics. China plans to take what's left.

None of this bodes well for the United States citizens who may find, at best, their sons and daughters drafted and their country bankrupt from the Islamist conflict. At worst, we could face domination by another power such as China or devastated by nuclear warfare.

None of these things had to happen; but, globalists in the guise of the Bush administration seized power in this country. Globalism does not work and the plummet in the stock market is only a small part of the backlash against this threat to American freedoms and the sovereignty of our country.

The American people face hard choices in the months to come, including whether to take down the Bush administration and install a new administration that is capable of cleaning up this mess, including the one in Pakistan.

Answer 4

personally im all for everyone doing two years service for there country wheither thats military or pease corps or whatever
but also not that I'm a conspiracy nut

but there was a poll in the armed forces that asked would you fire on us citizens

the army answered over fifty percent that they would
volunteers are more likely to follow orders with out question
where as more than a few that were drafted would stop and think about it first

plus the command think all draftees would make our armed forces into a Vietnam area army where everyone was doing drugs and fraggin the command

Answer 5

The draft is extremely unpopular. It's not just the young men who would actually be subjected to it, but thier parents - and, the extremely politically active generations that preceded them.
