    WTF is up with Sen Rangle's new bill

    It won't affect me since I am too old but it would many here. 2 years of mandatory service in the military or civil defense related. From what I have glanced it reminds me of when I had to register for the draft.

    It's his "parting shot" he's not long for his seat and he knows it. He's just trying to piss people off.

    Looks like the world of "conscpition" may be headed toward our youth... Another Obama dream passed through somebody he bought off...

    Today boys and girls we need to get off our collective dead asses and MAKE SURE NOT ONE OF THOSE BASTARDS GETS REELECTED!

    Reminds me of the Sixties. I believe the Military needs draftees just to keep things in perspective.

    Seeing as you're out of the age range, I would love to hear exactly why you feel this way.

    In fact, I chuckled. As it is, branches are turning down people because of the overwhelming amount of people enlisting.

    You are right Big Jay. When I carried my son to a navy recruiter he passed the test but the guy told him they didn't have any slots right now. He said all the branches were turning people away.

    Yet another mystery in how this admistration is thinking... Building his own army... Not to defend from outside but to enforce from inside? Just a thought... Nothing to base it on but crazier shit is taking place right now out of well publicized view. Our own issues with fishing... The "hiddens" in that health care nightmare shoved up our scuppers...

    Who knows what these fools think? Maybe they're building an army to enforce no fishing or perhaps to carry the luggage of illegals crossing the border...

    Emphasis on TURNING YOUR SON AWAY. Your son knowingly, willfully, and with probably a great sense of pride went to enlist.

    By forcing service you're cheapening EVERYTHING that our amazing Armed Forces are all about. You wanna put some shmoe that was told he MUST serve next to an 18 yr. old kid who has a legacy in the branch and wouldn't think twice about making a sacrifice for his country?

    Everyone's drinking the Kool Aid these days...

    MAYBE WE NEED A REVOLUTION AT THE CAPITAL. JUST A THOUGHT. I WONDER WHERE THE BOTTOM IS!! TOO BAD WE ALL HAVE TOO MUCH GOING ON TO REALIZE WHAT IS GOING ON. THIS COUNTRY IS BEING TORN APART, ONE ANT AT A TIME. AND IN A COLONY OF MILLIONS, ONE ANT WON'T BE MISSED UNTIL WE'RE DOWN TO JUST A FEW THOUSAND.....MAYBE.
