maybe they'll dangle the "all student loans debts forgiven if you serve" carrot?

How much money would that cost? If the purpose of the draft would be to save money, can they afford that?

We had drafts for the Civil War Union Army, WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Maybe others too. Most were unpopular. I know that WWI was unpopular and I remember how unpopular Vietnam was. But they happened.

If you don't get enough people who want to fight in a war that the gov. wants, they do a draft.

theyre using it as a scare tactic, but what they dont tell you is it is exactly what Obama has been planning all along. A free army he never has to pay.

I hope that it never comes to this, I really do. I swear, no one will get me to fight by force. If they think they will, and they force a gun into my hand, it will be used on the people who force me to hold it in the first place.

A military draft is slavery.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1558018


Guess what - the military is the sheer definition of socialism. You are property of the Govt - sign away all rights upon enlisting.

So which is worse? Being a slave to the government against your will or being taken care of by the government at everyone elses expense?

Totally agree with you.

Re: Top republican : cut military budget and WE'LL INSTITUTE A DRAFT!!
Well...they have to have a draft for a couple of reasons:

1. Israel demands it (Americans need to die for their wars not Israelis)

2. They need the young people out of the U.S. to kill them off with D.U. in some god forsaken desert.

3. With no young people in the U.S. martial law can be declared without a much of a fight

4. Old people are disarmed and helpless without the young people

5. Old people culled....they are no longer "assets" when they retire they are "liabilities" to get rid of.

6. Once old people disarmed/culled in the U.S. and young people culled in the Mideast then Foreign troops from the U.N. (Chinese)can come into the U.S. and take over.

Military wont draft anybody. This is bullshit. Studies show that drafted people aren't worth the effort.

If you think they can't do it... Guess what, they did it in the Korean war, 18 years old were sent IN WAR ZONES WITHOUT ANY TRAINING.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 984249




also, the soldiers had no weapons...were sent into battle and told to get their weapons from the dead enemies (or I suppose dead americans...)
My brothers had friends who were sent there and that is what they told our family.

Here is something interesting I came across about Dick Cheney !
When Cheney became eligible for the draft, during the Vietnam War, he applied for and received five draft deferments.[16][17] In 1989, The Washington Post writer George C. Wilson interviewed Cheney as the next Secretary of Defense; when asked about his deferments, Cheney reportedly said, "I had other priorities in the '60s than military service".

A military draft is the only way we are going to stop this bullshit of fighting wars all over the world without merit.

Since everyone is volunteers, they can't say shit about what goes on. But if they are drafted, then there will be plenty said about what the PTB are doing.

Why do you think they did away with it???
