Speaking of the Draft

The mainstream media is really poo-pooing any suggestion that the military draft will be brought back. For example, NBC's Campbell Brown filling in for Chris ("I'm an ass but look at how important I am!") Matthews on Hardass ..er.. Hardball this week all but rolled her eyes at the idea.

Wake up, people! We have a back-door draft going on right now. Soldiers cannot leave the military. Committees are in place to develop and potentially implement a traditional military draft RIGHT AFTER the election. This government has already asked Canada not to take Americans who cross the border looking for haven if a draft is implemented.

Don't roll your eyes at this. Parents of 16 and 17 and 18-year-olds should be very concerned. A draft is almost guaranteed if Mr. Bush is reelected and, sadly, at this point, may be nearly inescapable under Mr. Kerry (due to the many and varied messes Bush has gotten us into).

Don't take my word for it. Do your research. It's all right there, regardless of the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld anti-draft rhetoric.
