Possible Draft?

I heard a rumor that says that if Bush is elected president again he is gonna start up the draft again. Is it true? Can it be done? If so sucks for me.

doubt it.. not without some kind of vote system, but then again. We are talking about america.

It isn\'t Bush who would impose it, it would be Congress.  Personally, I think it would be a great idea to make young people serve their country for 2 years - Europeans do it and don\'t complain.  Americas youth needs to stop thinking about themselves - they are pampered way too much.

For men and women equal?

Here, its only for men. But since all things must be equal (wages, work hours, free time with your kid etc.) according to the feminists, I only think its fair to let the women get drafted as well.

Im glad I did not get called in. :cool:

I agree - but I think it shouldn\'t be limited to a military draft - let some choose to do some form of civil service instead.

Giga: Yes.

Btw, I read or heard somewhere that men and women have been in combat, but that the men preformed worse when there were women on the battlefield. Something to do with them always trying to protect the women.

Has anyone heard this before? Any truth to it?

Never heard that - I don\'t know.

I don\'t think I would worry too much about a draft.

Implementing a draft would be political suicide for the GOP.  This is all just talk.

Aren\'t kids who are going to college waived from being drafted?

Unfortunately they are draft dodger.

I don\'t care for this country enough to do any kind of civil service for it.
 If such a thing happened, I\'d move to Canada. Until then, I\'ll just take advantage of the few things America has and not serve the country in any other way, than paying my damn taxes.

I figured you for an ROTC boy LIC.
