Wasn't there supposed to be some type of draft this month?
I could have sworn I read a few threads on an upcoming draft for this month, but so far, I have yet to see something.

A draft DOES make sense, given the current predictament of military recruitment.

But... wouldn't it make more sense to do this AFTER 2006?

:tinfoilhat:

What - did I just type that? ;)

Writer.

1. The timing's awkward
Can't really start a draft during the Downing Street Minutes media coverage.

We'll have to move to Plan B, an all-mercenary army, which has the advantages of not being subject to either US law or the UCMJ.

However, because that's more expensive, we'll have to extend the tax cuts to pay for it.

2. I think you mean a war in Iran.
Some people were saying watch for the Iran war in June.

If there was any June Draft speculation, I missed it.

Coulda' been both. :shrug:

3. Scottie did said the other day, we are in the War with Iran.
Thugs are waiting for Bolton to get in UN. After Bolton gets in, we'll have draft.

Remember, we are a patient people. We will hunt them down and smoke them out and turn another corner and they are determined in their last throes.
