It is time to reintroduce the draft!!!!!

A draft makes sense. Just think of all the leftists running north after they find out Uncle Sam doesn't issue coloring books and play doh. That means my country would have less leftists although I don't think Canada would appreciate having a wave of illegals coming in.

I seem to recall 50,000 AMericans soldiers DYING IN VAIN in Viet Nam. What did the Viet Nam war get us? Did it prevent North Viet Nam from overtaking the south?

They took it anyway. It was inevitable. We can't stay their forever, and as soon as we leave, they swoop in.

This is the same thing in the middle east. If we leave, the Taliban, ISIS, etc, will swoop in and take over. And all of those who died there will they died in vain.


IN fact, it is inevitable their deaths will be in vain, because we can't stay in the middle east forever. The whole pitch was "we'll stay until the ally's defenses are strong enough to defend themselves". But, they are inept, they'll never reach that point or it might take another 50 years. and who has the patience for that?

Trump plays on emotions, he does not play strategically. As soon as he attacked Iran, took out #2 guy, what did Trump do?

He tweeted A rasmussen poll that shows him at 50%.

Donald J. Trump on Twitter: "… "

That's what it is about for Trump, he'll sell America down the river if it means a temporary boost in ratings.


The stupidity of the right knows no bounds.
 
We have been to war in the Middle East for over 15 years and some of our troops have done 10 tours. You wonder why they have PTSD. I say it is time that everyone get into the game. I constantly hear on this message board about the Dems being cowards for not wanting a war. Maybe it is because they see that the wealthy make the money from the war and the chiildren of the poor and middle class do the fighting and the dying. So it is time we reintroduce a draft which would include everyone including women and no deferments. People say that we have to pay a price for our democracy and sometimes that price is giving our lives in times of war. I think it is time everyone pays an equal price. It seems that many out there who are afriad to serve are the ones who want to stick to what they call the volunter military. Maybe they are the true cowards.

No draft necessary

Perhaps more of a rotation of the forces we have

Also, research how many of our military graduate boot camp every month
 
You do know that in World War Two, the U.S. military had a higher percentage of draftees compared to volunteers than in the Vietnam War.



IN WWII, we had a state, with a uniformed army, to fight. Those kinds of wars are winnable. The middle east is a consortium of ad hoc militias and tribes without uniforms, without states, who fight asymmetrically, insurgent fighting, which they are very good at.

Russia found out how hard it was to win a war in the middle east when they attacked AFganistan. After 8 years, they wound up going home with their tail between their legs.

WE need to pull out of the middle east, and we definitely do not need a draft.
 
Leftists have a long ad rich history of giving aid and comfort to America's enemies.
 
No draft necessary. America is moving more and more to a private mercenary military. Well over half the troops in Afganistan are mercenarys. Wall street is buying up companies like Blackwater. Is it good for America's wealthiest to own mercenary armies. There is a lot of money to be made in war.

Wall Street Banks Building A Private Army?
 
Can you imagine drafting today's young entitled minded leftists? They would be out there on the line, half playing video games on their cell phones, the other half screaming at the sky. :)

Unbelievable.
 
This is a much more practical way to share the sacrifice and help our country and I would fully support this approach. For far too long some have clamored for war and using the national credit card to charge it...

Also, if every income group feels the sting and wartime profits are fed back into the effort instead of filling the pockets of fat cats, I would guess that wars would be much shorter.

Wartime Tax Rates on the Richest or it is just Fake times of War!

In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice of life and property that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment due to a war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. Therefore, we demand ruthless confiscation of all war profits.

Market based metrics under Capitalism so everyone understands.
 
We could always draft some ANTIFA leftist thugs if ever we faced an army of homosexual reporters or senior citizens. They could goose step their way in and dole out some beat downs. :)

Conservatives have a long history of starting unwinable wars and then allowing the poor and the middle class to supply the soldiers to die in those wars. For cons a war is good for business and as long as their kids are not dying who cares. The cons always talk tough but are never tough enough to join the battle. they do not like the idea of a draft because then they would have to have their kids in the wars they start.
 
:lamo

Every...****ing...time.

When Obama attacked our enemies leftists cheered or at the least had the courtesy to keep their ****ing mouths shut. When a conservative acts in the nations interest, leftists use every fear mongering tactic known including trotting this tired ridiculous meme out.

No one is reinstating the draft. No one wants the draft. The military DAMN SURE doesnt want the draft...unless you take away the cameras and let the DIs smack the **** out of the recruits til they grow up.
