do you think bush would let his kids go to fight in Iraq?

Question

ok I know that we are a free country and nobody forces the soldiers to enlist and that theres soldiers that really love their job and believe on what they are doing but I think (my opinion)that most soldiers dont want to be there and do not agree with this war, yes they know theyr job and that they could die, but they enlisted to fight for fair wars against terrorism and things like that u know like back then wwII a fair war against real soldiers not against hiden ieds and just because the president is so stuburn and wants to do his own thing because he can, and alot of soldiers enlist because there is no choice, I met a chick once that she enlisted because she was homeless and had nobody, so back to my cuestion would bush let his kids enlist? I know alot of people are going to say that is their choice but thats not even an option they woudl never enlist because they are rich they dont need money to support a family etc, I think they should be a draft and they should get sent, see what

stupid bush does about it, probably nothing he probanly dont care about his kids ither he is a heartless person that only cares about money and power

for everyones information was in the army less than two years ago and my husband is currenlty in the army his 11th year in it and what i say about how soldiers feel i know because I know alot of them that have been down range so im living the army life but now as a military spose.

I meant spouse

Answer 1

So long as it's an all-volunteer force, people are free to enlist or not at their own choosing. If Bush's daughters desire to enlist they are free to do so, Bush himself would have no say in the matter.

If there was a draft, would you go? I imagine you'd be on the first bus to Canada.

Answer 2

We know that most parents would support any decision their child makes about entering the military, but most of the parents would've probably say NO with the war going on...so the answer to the question is NO... I don't think he'd let his kids join the military..do you blame him? He's a parent as well, he makes decision for the country but when it comes to his family I'd say he'd do anything in his power to keep that from happening...I am a parent, a veteran and a military spouse for more than 17 yrs..I've seen the ugly truth of how this War on Terrorism in Iraq or Afghanistan has taken a toll on our soldiers and families...couples divorced, broken homes, children are affected emotionally and seriously there is such a thing call Post Dramatic War Syndrome or whatever they call it.....the night sweats, the sleepless nights, short fuse tempers, memory loss, etc, heck I can write a book on that...A draft? well I don't know...I wouldn't like to see my nephews go...I already got a whole spew of family members already in the military a spouse, a brother, cousins, uncles too many to be acknowledge...the only thing I do is pray for them and hope that some day everyone including the president and his administration will finally come to accept the flaws to their plans about invading Iraq, because too many families have lost so much and yet we don't see an end in sight ...........

Answer 3

A draft is the most pathetically stupid idea anyone ever came up with. Right now we have VOLUNTEERS who are willing to go out and fight. You would rather they yank someone off the street and force them to fight? You would rather fight with someone who was forced to be there than someone who wnats to be there? Wow---I thought the Special Forces guys were brave.

The drafted military had a thin ration of benefits. The volunteer force has many. A drafted military is larger, a volunteer force is smaller. Do you think a big force is not going to be used? You would be reducing benefits and risking conflict even more.

The trouble with your thinking is that you don't like freedom. You would prefer to force people into combat. You don't like it that people make choices. You would like to squash the opportunity that the military gives the volunteer---and why? You don't like George Bush.

Bush has another year and a half left. We will survive him. We survived Clinton, Bush I and Carter too.

What would be a novel idea would be to vote for some statesmen into positions of power vice the politicians that we have now. It would be a noble goal to reach for energy independence so we wouldn't have to deal with these barbaric places.

Answer 4

They are not there...are they? Sadly enough, the people that usually make the wars are not the ones fighting them. They expect to send others while they and their own stay safely back at home. The royal family is different. Their sons all serve in the UK military and if there is a war, then they go.
The Bush twins are back home wrecking havoc on Texas and getting DUI tickets. I guess little apples don't fall far from their tree.

Answer 5

The basic point is that Bush's children have free will and if they wish to go they can go - but it's up to them. This anti-war argument that begins with hints of class envy and sinks to rich kids versus poor kids class warfare anecdotes is especially egregious and patently Liberal.

The military has no trouble filling it's ranks thank you very much and it doesn't have to shanghai folks to do it, they come on their own and from all classes within our society.

Realize and truthfully acknowledge that no one in the military today is there involuntarily and no one in the military can pick and choose the wars he or she will fight. Then see if you're pathetic ramblings will hold water.

Answer 6

Nobody HAS to enlist. The homeless person could have gone to a shelter and gotten on Welfare and gone back to school. She made a choice, just like every other American has the freedom to do. Would Bush let his daughters enlist? He would probably try to talk them out of it, but it there choice, not his.

Answer 7

Fair war? That's an oxymoron, isn't it?

I 100% believe in an all voluntary force. That's the beauty of being an American, the right to choose whether or not you wish to fight in any war. This homeless woman who enlisted still made that choice.

Answer 8

there is not any way he might. they are too busy working up daddies visa taking part in cards and out parting to care approximately putting there lives on the line for there united states. LOL it quite is hilarious Bush's young infants serving, yeah like which will ever happen.....

Answer 9

I'm about to say something about Clinton that the Democrat voters won't like and will be in Denial. The war in Iraq would never have happened if Bill Clinton would have done his job while in the WHITE HOUSE. SADDAM ALONG WITH BIN LADEN, AND IRAN WAS PART OF 9/11. DID SADDAM HAVE THE WMD? YES HE DID, BUT WHO ENDED UP WITH THE WMD? IRAN. WHY? SADDAM SOLD THEM TO IRAN IN THE 90'S. WHY? IT WAS WHAT BILL CLINTON TOLD SADDAM IN THE 90'S. WHAT BILL CLINTON TELLS SADDAM ON FEB.17,1998, "SADDAM REJECTS PEACE THAN WE HAVE TO USE FORCE, OUR PURPOSE IS CLEAR. WE WANT TO SERIOUSLY DINIMISH THE THREAT POSED BY IRAQ'S WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION PROGRAM." ANOTHER THING THE DEMOCRAT VOTERS IN DENIAL OVER; THE REASON BILL CLINTON DID NOT LOSE MEN IN BOSNIA IS BECAUSE WE WERE THIER AFTER THE FACT. THE REAL HERO THAT SAVED THE PEOPLE IN BOSNIA FROM THE BLOOD FLOWN IN THE STREET WAS ( PRESIDENT ALIJA IZETBEGOZIC); IT'S THIS MAN THAT HELPED THE PEOPLE......BILL CLINTON SENT THE TROOPS IN AFTER THE FACT, AND BILL CLINTON KEPT OUR TROOPS IN BOSNIA, AND THIS IS ALL HE DONE. ANOTHER DENIAL THE DEMOCRAT VOTERS HAVE; THE FBI AND THE CIA HAVE TOLD THAT THEY WERE READY TO PICK UP BIN LADEN IN '98 IN AFGHANISTAN, AND THAT PLAN WAS CANCELED BY JANET RENO. I WISH SHE HAD CANCELED WACO INSTEAD. NOW LET US GET BACK TO THE WMD; SADDAM AND IRAN STARTED WORKING TOGETHER AGAINST AMERICA, THIS WAS THE REASON FOR 9/11. BIN LADEN AND HIS TERRORIST ORGANIZATION DONE THE ATTACK ON 9/11 AS THEY DID THE ATTACK ON THE WTC IN 1993, AS THEY BROUGHT DOWN FLIGHT 800 INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN, AS THEY ATTACK SS COLE,ETC. MC VEIGH WAS NOT PUT TO DEATH BECAUSE OF HIS ASKING, HE WAS PUT TO DEATH FAST FOR THE REASON THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION DID NOT WANT HIM TALKING. ONLY REASON NICHOLES WAS NOT PUT TO DEATH IS BECAUSE HE HE WAS SCARED AND SWORE NOT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION, OTHER WISE HE WOULD DIE MYSTERIOUSLY IN PRISON.

Answer 10

No,he would not.He did not go to Nam,so why would he let his kids go to war.Women cannot be drafted,so he would have no problem bringing back the draft (which he will probably do).Recruitment is falling off,and he is going to need some more cannon fodder.They are already talking about this in the White House.
