    Default America! The Draft, we need it!

    As the world becomes a darker, more evil, and less freedomloving place. ONe thing is sure, America needs the draft, in order to ensure that new generations of Americans will have the same freedoms that we have..
    In order to win in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to bring Freedom to other places in the world, from where freedom has been taken away during the past years, such as Russia, we need the draft, and we need more money for the Army...

    My fellow Americans... as well as other freedomloving people in the world, how do you feel about getting back the Draft, in order for our children to have Freedom...

    *yawn*

    Isn't idealism a beyotch? You could be a speech writer for Bush.

    Yes... let's invade Russia! Genius plan.

    "Freedom" is always a lofty ideal when you're not the victim of its followers.

    Yes... you have the freedom.... you have the freedom to be bombed.

    Indeed quite a lovely freedom that is to have.

    Oh my god X.X

    The Troll-Empire strikes back

    Frederick II of Prussia: "All Religions are equal and good, if only the people that practice them are honest people; and if Turks and heathens came and wanted to live here in this country, we would build them mosques and churches."
    Norge: "Give me a break. Nothing would make you happier than to see the eagle replaced with a crescent."

    Ummon:"enforcing international law will require that the enforcers do not respect it"
    Olmstead v USA:"Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means-to declare that the government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal-would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this court should resolutely set its face."








    Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who can't defend themselfs.
    When you stand before god you can not say "I was told by others to do this" or that virtue was not convenient at the time

    Yeah, the draft is a perfect way to get ill-trained soldiers that will

    A)be massacred by more experienced Taliban and guerilla fighters in the various places of the world (try to put a drafted soldier against a Taliban that fights since he was a kid)

    B) very likely snap, kill innocent civilians and return home a mess


    You really really want to do that.

    "World opinion" is a cacaphony of noise, even at the government level. There is no "world opinion" of over 6 billion people. People pretend it exists to try to reinforce their own biased viewpoints. -Senno

    My country uses conscripted soldiers and I know many. I will be drafted as well in two years when I finish university. You just can't get the same training with a professional in 2 years or less (in my country it's 18 months). Equipment means of you can't use it.

    Try to imagine the average guy, give him some basic training and put him in an environment where he has to worry about snipers, trapped doors, cars, children toys and people that blow up. He will snap very quickly and its only natural. Professional forces, carriers and nukes made US a super-power not the "Grand American Spirit" bs.

    Kasey's picture speaks the truth.

    This Crusade for freedom has made the world a worse place than it was. Afghanistan was a just war for me, but Iraq was a massive joke. Killing Saddam just means another will try to take his place after you've left. And you seriously think you can take Russia? They have nukes, and they service oil to half of Europe. You go to war with them, and Russia will force the Europeans to make a choice between you or oil. The latter they need a lot more in places like Germany.

    The US is not under constant threat by foreign military and political powers that necessitate a military draft.
    Sigh...

    While I approve of more money for the upkeep and modernization of the army, a draft doesn't quite cut it. There are tons of militaries that have millions of soldiers (i.e. Vietnam, Iran) but most contain militia-like units who aren't likely to make the next day. Although the United States has the means to equip these soldiers and that all new recruits will get experienced sometime, I still believe that the military isn't in dire need of more soldiers at the moment. Iraq and Afghanistan are somewhat struggling, however America has a few million troops elsewhere on their mainland and over Europe. So all in all, no draft but perhaps introduce a system like that of the farming centuries ago where some fields were plowed while some remain barren, or for a military translation have them have tours in which they spend time in Iraq but come back home and then again some time later. Like a cycle.

    And I am puzzled why you say 'My fellow Americans' when you live in Croatia and your name is HrvatskaBosna or CroatianBosnia. :hmmm:

    His location says "Nova Hrvatska" and there is no such place in Croatia, most likely he's somewhere overseas...like USA. And not many Croats in Croatia would call themselves CroatianBosnia anyway...political correctness and all that...

    looks at Europe, South Korea, the Pacific, Mexico, Japan, China, North Africa
    Europe is completly independent from US. In case of anything, Europe will have no problems taking down those military bases, and US won't be able to do anything about it, because EU has nukes.
    South Korea wasn't free for a long while after Korean War.
    US "liberated" Japan by killing hundreds of thousands by nuclear strikes and millions being victims of radiation.
    Mexico - no wonder so many Mexicans prefer moving in US to "freedom" of their country, which is just being a of US at the expense of its citizens.
    China - since what time US has to do anything with it?
    North Africa - a huge hellhole.

    and US won't be able to do anything about it, because EU has nukes.



    Are you serious?

    US "liberated" Japan by killing hundreds of thousands by nuclear strikes and millions being victims of radiation.
