draft in 2004?

seems like a good question to start circulating. If we are going to stay in Iraq, and if bush is willing to invade another country, we are going to need alot more troops.

So the "doctrine" of pre-emptive war really means that we need to re-instate the draft.

That seems like a good reason for everybody with draft age kids (and draft age kids) to vote for whoever the Dem nominee may be.

What do you think?

1. The sad thing is, the Democrats have already put a bill

in congress to reinstate the draft. For some reason - probably the election - it has not gotten any action.

3. I have two sons, 24 and 25.

I asked them what they would do if the draft were reinstated, and they both said, "Move to Canada."

besides if there was one there so close to 26 and they would start going from 20,21,22,23,24,25,19,18 they have a low chance of getting drafted. But if that is there plan they would have plenty of warning time. :thumbsup: :bounce:
