[quote:Anonymous Coward 113248:MV8yNTk1ODhfNDYwNjkzM18xMTJENkMzOQ==] [quote:Malice] My apologies for jumping to conclusion if your intention was not to complain about said subject. Generally...especially on this site...someone brings up draft and/or the Universal National Service Act for the sole purpose of complaining about it/tying it to conspiracy. It's really not as rare a concept to the rest of the world as it is to a lot of ignorant Americans who take their citizen for granted. [/quote] Thank you, Malice. I appreciate that. For the record, my original statement was to wake "some" of the younger folks up, who make fun of happenings in the world right now. Things are a bit more serious than many of them realize. As an added note: My uncle served 6 years in Nam, my cousin 3 years, I was sitting with my boyfriend in the living room (1969? close enough), watching the draft on t.v., when his brother's birthdate was pulled he was sent to Nam for brief period. I had to walk my bestfriend to her locker after she was informed at SCHOOL OVER THE TELEPHONE that her brother had been killed in Vietnam. My dad and his brother, WWII, U.S.Navy. That's why I took offense to your statement. Please accept my apology for snapping at you as well. I understand you message too. [/quote]

Satellite photos detect activity at NKorea missile bases: report
Photo : AFP
TOKYO (AFP) - North Korea could be preparing for new launches of mid-range missiles following last week's tests, with activity detected at its bases, a report has said citing Japanese government sources.
US and Japanese satellite photos show that mid-range Rodong missiles had been set up on launch pads at a base in southeastern North Korea, but were later removed, the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper reported.
Fuel tanks could be seen near the launch pads, the report said.
The report said the satellite photos were taken after last week's tests of seven missiles, but did not give a specific date.
"We think North Korea can launch missiles whenever it wishes," the top-selling daily quoted a government source as saying.
Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso on Sunday suggested Tokyo would have the right to launch a pre-emptive strike to protect its citizens from a missile launch by Pyongyang.
He said there were "visible signs" of activity at a North Korean missile base from which North Korea launched a Rodong missile last week.
Japan submitted a draft binding resolution in the United Nations Security Council that would impose sanctions on North Korea over the missile tests.
But on Monday, the Security Council put off a vote on the resolution to allow more time for Chinese diplomatic efforts to defuse the crisis.
