I believe that will be urban legend.....it better be because I don't support a draft. I'd fly to DC to protest as well

Like I said............I hope to God it doesn't happen but I don't know how it can be avoided. National Guardsman are already being told they can't leave..............there is a backdoor draft happening right now. One more terror attack and that's the excuse they'll use..............it's going to happen! Of course, it will happen. The 140K troops that we have in Iraq are not enough. And of course, we won't pull out. Not now, after the seeming ratification of the neocon agenda by so many idiotic Americans (helped by a little tweaking of the voting machines, of course). The Shinseki number of 360K-480K troops is where we would end up. We surely need a draft to get there. And that is just for Iraq. If we want to occupy Syria, we need another 150K to 200K troops. And if we want to occupy Iran, we will need close to a million more troops. Well, at least Dumbya can claim that he solved the unemployment problem once and for all!
