Draft, what draft?
    #2892069 - 07/15/04 01:04 AM (19 years, 10 months ago)

Remember that hullabaloo about congress trying to pass a law that would re-enstate the draft, not so according to this article.

Here are some highlights:

"Selective Service System: Notwithstanding recent stories . . . on the Internet, Selective Service is not getting ready to conduct a draft for the U.S. Armed Forces -- either with a special skills or regular draft."

"In fact, Rangel told FactCheck.org through his spokesman Emile Milne that even he isn't pushing for passage, let alone Bush (emphasis added):

Rep. Rangel: I'm not pushing this bill . It's up to the President to come to me when he needs it."

"Both bills in question were drawn up before the Iraq war started, mostly to make a political point. Rangel said he acted to highlight Democratic objections to use of military force against Saddam Hussein. He wrote , "I truly believe that decision-makers who support war would more readily feel the pain of conflict and appreciate the sacrifice of those on the front lines if their children were there, too.""

Saying that the Government is NOT doing something bad doesn't make for interesting exchange of ideas (or arguments). Please re-edit the story and make the American Government appear more Evil.

If they aren't going to do it, why leave the proposed legislation in limbo... I just love to see my tax money spent on nothing.

Come on, a draft right before an election, its not going to happen. But after the election, and if bush wins, I'd start worrying....more.
