Kerry Says Draft May Return Under Bush
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry , citing the war in Iraq and other trouble spots in the world, raised the possibility Wednesday that a military draft could be reinstated if voters re-elect President Bush .It took the U.S. military years to recover from the effects of having draftees serve and with the exception of two-headed aliens attacking the entire planet, there's no way that a new draft would ever get the okay - from Congress nor the Department of Defense.Kerry said he would not bring back the draft and questioned how fairly it was administered in the past.
Answering a question about the draft that had been posed at a forum with voters, Kerry said: "If George Bush were to be re-elected, given the way he has gone about this war and given his avoidance of responsibility in North Korea and Iran and other places, is it possible? I can't tell you."
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and other Pentagon officials have been asked numerous times whether they thought a draft would be necessary to maintain force levels in Iraq. They have said consistently that they think it is neither necessary nor desirable, since today's military is built on volunteer service and professionalism.
Is Kerry that desparate that he has to try and scare voters with this crap? If it were realistic, yes, I could see him raising concerns about it. Hell, there's even a small cause for this - there currently is (or was - I cannot locate H.R. 163) a bill in Congress to re-instate the draft. The things that aren't mentioned is that:

Dude, I has somebody try to drop a post in one of my comments section and it had the usual "Bush wants to kill your kids" crap. I left it there with my retort. Some people are just so stupid.

Whuuut?
I, personally, would welcome an unconditional draft - if you're old enough and physically capable - off you go, no exceptions, no deferments! Seems to be the only way we can get all the young Republicans, like the Protest Warriors, who support this war in Uniform!
