Piece on CBS Now about back door draft

1. Yes our all volunteer army of...

50 year old women and disabled veterans. It's really quite sad what the government is doing to these vets

[indigo]

7. oops, you didn't resign your commission

a 4' 8" woman who served in the 60s, no less.

A 47-yr old disabled veteran who can't "run away from the enemy", as he put it.

2. 60 minutes for all its faults still is one of the best shows on TV

I know they get stories pulled and they are more cautious than they sued to be but it is still one of the few shows left on corporate TV to actually do some 'real' news now and then.

3. I'd like to ask each of those people who they voted for.

If they voted for Bush, then tough luck. They must have approved of the war, so let them go.

[indianablue]

5. Yeah, the typical GOP lover says.....well....

They signed up for it...

4. Time for Impeachment!

This is your future tooo Freepers!

[Cleopatra2a]

6. This is crazy!

I'm going to have to call my brother and tell him to watch out. He was a Captain in the Army and is a disabled vet. They just showed a disabled Army vet, who can't do much but is going to have to show up in Jan. I hope he resigned his commission. But then, they showed a guy who did this, but the Army says it should never have approved it, so he has to go to!!

8. Impeachment NOW!

This is your future tooo Freepers! Welcome to R-E-A-L-I-T-Y.

9. I Have No Sympathy for Them. None.

Sorry, we spent most of 2003 and practically all of 2004 telling people about this. We campaigned and campaigned hard telling America what was going on with the backdoor draft. Kerry wanted to build an international coalition to help alleviate the stress on our armed forces in Iraq.

But...we were ignored, ridiculed, and called immoral and out of touch with American values. They wanted Bush. They got Bush.

[indianablue]

13. I do not either..

I am ex military but been completely discharged for about 4 years now.


They are targeting officers cause their time doe snot truly expire unless they are able to resign their commission.

I wish every freaking Bush lover would send their son or daughter to Iraq and have them come back in pieces.

I know that is cold but so are these freaking Bush loving assholes.

They deserves some pain.

17. Wait a minute fellows

Who said that these vets are pukes? They could be hard core yellow dog dems. I watched the piece and I didn't see anyone claim to be either, and you know assumptions aren't always true.

[Cleopatra2a]

15. Regular military probably does not want them around

They will slow them down. I hate when they think throwing in extra people will solve a problem.

[tsuki]

18. Don't forget, "enemy of the state," and "what is wrong with America."

10. When is CBS internal investigation going to be released?

I think a huge mistake CBS made was using those fake documents. It even managed to reflect badly on the democratic candidates. I hope someone gets severely punished for it.

[flyingfysh]

11. It was never shown that the documents were fake

They were probably real, but there was no way to prove it.

[Blue Gardener]

12. I have never seen proof they were fake

Have you?

[Crowdance]

14. This is a thread highjack

From a seriously low count individual, this is highly suspicious....

[DELUSIONAL]

20. Amazing -- even now "these" people show up to protect AWOL

bush -- by all right bushie should be called up.

(1) he never completed his contract -- he shorted the Army.

(2) others in his situation were sent to Vietnam.

In fact send ALL the fucking god dammed chicken hawks to Iraq and bushie's next war -- let them fight their own wars. Plus every SOB that voted for bushie.

[seabeyond]

16. bush didnt finish his duty, and there are older the are drafting

i say bush should have to go with them and finish up his national guard service

[DemoTex]

19. Stop-gap until kids denied Pell Grants for college start signing up.

It is a Rovian plan. And it is as slick as snot. I wonder if they will try to get me. I got an early-out in 1972, long before my committment for flight school was up.

21. C'mon GEORGE!!!

You got their MANDATE...

TAKE THEIR SONS!
