Because you can guarantee a high altitude detonation if a nuke is used. Hopefully the USA is stockpiling electronic parts and generators deep below with shielding for this type of protocal |

[link to au.news.yahoo.com] Quoting: Agent FescadoTuesday July 11, 11:22 AM 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. |

Then tell me why The Universal National Service Act of 2006 was introduced to the House in February 2006 and is now being discussed by the committee of Armed Services? Part of it's description is this: To provide for the common defense by requiring all persons in the United States, including women, between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes. IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 14, 2006 Mr. RANGEL introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services Here's the link for Library of Congress: [link to thomas.loc.gov] |

Funny how everyone panics when the idea of being obligated to give a little bit of time back to the country you are citizen of is brought up. "I want to live in this country and reap the benefits, but I don't want to have to do anything in return for such things!" |

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.

I don't think we'd last a day in conventional doo dah with NK. General Douglas MacArthur warned after World War II that we should never get involved in a land war in Asia because we did not understand the Asian mind. Nukes are unnacceptable for very obvious reasons, everybody loses in a flash. |
Malice User ID: 14553 United States 07/11/2006 01:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | While Nukes are really a no-win tool for anyone...I take the slightest bit of comfort knowing the United States is equipped with the cleanest, most efficient nuclear weapons in the world. And we don't wrap our weapons in cobalt to increase Gamma radiation like the Russians. And generally, even in the flash of nuclear holocaust, I like to consider myself a winner. It's always good to have a positive mindset. :) |

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.
