First of all, FinnAgain is a moron. A shrill, shrieking, pants-wetting moron. He claims that George Bush and his cabal of neocons are secretly plotting to reinstate the draft. And he points to two bills in Congress that actually would reinstate the draft, if passed. And claims this is proof that America, misled by the fascistic Bush and his cabal of neocons, is on the verge of reinstating the draft.
Oh, did I mention that FinnAgain is a moron? Just so no one forgets.
Now, the facts. Yes, there are indeed bills in Congress that would reinstate the draft. Yes, it is true. But, who are the sponsors of the bills? Democrats? Surely these must be the bought and paid for conservative lackey Democrats, Democrats in name only, who are secrety carrying out the wishes of their corporate masters, who are the true controllers of both the Democrats and the Republicans. But wait. Who actually are the sponsors of the bill? Charles Rangel? Jim McDermot?
FinnAgain, as I have said, is a moron. Does he even know who these people are? No, of course not. And why is that?
The answer is obvious. He does not know that because he is a moron. A drooler. A naif. A babe in the woods. He is differently abled mentally. He rode the short bus to school.
The sponsors of the bill are the most pacifistic,left-wing, bleeding heart liberal politically correct treehugging fellow travelers that one can find in the US congress. Do you even know these people, FinnAgain? Are you really that fucking stupd?
The rationale behind this bill is precisely to make war impossible, because if we had conscription rather than an all volunteer army then there would be an overwhelming opposition to any war. See how it works? The sponsors of the bill believe that your average Joe has no problem supporting a nasty war in some foreign country, so long as HE isn’t required to risk his precious skin in that war. If he was a draftee, he would of course be against the war, and he and his family would be political opponents of any politician who proposed such a war. And some have equalitarian justifications, since if everyone served everyone would have sense of shared blah blah blah.
The truth is that the military does not want a draft. The military has downsized for the past 10 years. They want highly skilled technicians who can operate the high tech weapons. They want gung-ho commandoes. They want starry-eyed patriotic kids eager to be a part of a community. In short, they want volunteers, people who WANT to be in the military. Just like WalMart tries to hire as few people as possible, the military wants as few soldiers as possible, since every soldier costs money to train, house, feed, and equip.
Did I mention that FinnAgain is a moron? Ah, good, I did.
Our current military has no place for cannon fodder. It would be simpler just to take a draftee and shoot him right after he graduates basic training than to ship him to Iraq where he’ll probably take his buddies and some innocent civilians with him when he screws up. A unwilling conscript is worse than useless in today’s military.
The military doesn’t want draftees. The defense department doesn’t want draftees. Rumsfeld (remember him? The Secretary of Defense?) doesn’t want draftees. Remember how Rumsfeld demanded FEWER soldiers be sent to Iraq? Why was that?
The president doesn’t want a draft. Congress doesn’t want a draft. The American people don’t want a draft.
The only people who truly want a draft are hard-core political opponents of Bush and his cabal of neocons, such as FinnAgain. He wants a draft so bad he can TASTE it. Why? Because if Bush reinstated the draft even though the American people, congress, and the military are against the draft then everyone would wise up and realize how awful Bush is. If only Bush would do something so horrible! See how bad Bush is! He’s going to reinstate the draft! Except he’s not. And the people who claim to believe that reinstating the draft is a political possiblity are simply engaging in political masturbation, just like the Fundies upset because they think the Democrats are trying to ban “Touched by an Angel”.
I just want to leave you all with one final word. FinnAgain is a moron.
