Seems like my sarcasm on the Liberal anit-Bush hate machine didn't go over too well.

Someone said:

"Links specific posts in which Bush is criticized for bringing back a draft please."

I don't have links to my every day conversations with your average Liberal Joe who is so angry that Bush is going to get him drafted and saying how he would rather go to jail then fight for Bush.

The last thing the Armed Services wants is a bunch of Disenchanted Concripts fighting a war they don't believe in. If it were to happen fratricide, wholesale desertions and low morale would be the result.

THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A FVCKING DRAFT!!!

This week's Army Times has an interview with a senior person from the Selective Service in which he states emphatically that there will be NO DRAFT!

When I get home, I will scan and/or retype the interview for all you morons that keep bringing this up time and again.

That person has no authority on deciding whether a Draft will occur or not, neither does the Pentagon.

That said, it doesn't mean there will be one. However, how long can the US maintain Iraqi Troop levels as they are without an increase in Military force numbers? The longer the Forces are in Iraq, the greater pressure there will be to increase Forces numbers, which, depending on how the Public reacts, increases the likelyhood for the Draft to be implemented.

Never say never.
