the draft...I was taking a night class and we were discussing world politics and someone began talking about Iraq. There was a lot of back and forth and the subject was getting interesting then someone said that someone in the bush adm said that they may need to start the draft soon. There were about twenty something in the draft age range men and women. They started asking all kinds of questions to the , by the end of class they were discussing it down the hall and the majority didn't like it

That was one of my most stark and demanded bumperstickers at Democratic HQ's here in 2004. It will be more so now ! I think I'll make a new batch right now

5. There already is a quasi draft |
|
This admin is already forcing people to reinlist according to Michael Moore, and calling people back into duty after their service is done. So that is a quasi draft.

9. The two and three tours would make anyone angry.. |
|
they try to pretend as though the soldiers are happy to do all of these tours, the media hides the fact that a large number have gone AWOL.
