    That's weird. I guess I'm now unemployed. When did this happen?

    Ironically, right wingers often call themselves "Christian" and conveniently ignore the fact that their own Bible REQUIRES granting sanctuary to those in need.

    They also overlook how Republicans grant ''sanctuary'' to political criminals like the Shah of Iran, Orlando Bosch, Luis Posada Cariles, F-4 terrorists, and others. These are fascists criminals who are every bit as criminal as Hitler and Mussolini. Naturally, their criminal actions are applauded by un-American the far right.

    I started a thread with all the sources that show Saudi Arabia was also behind 9/11. I suggest you search for it.

    Youre going to need more than this to prove your point.

    I served by choice.

    I would not want a bunch of draftee's around me though.

    Considering the Taliban didn't come into existence until Clinton was President...

    Are you serious?
    Government run slavery?
    No need ever for a draft?
    Where did you learn history?
    Are you on medication?

    There has never been a time in US history when the government could not find enough volunteers with the right pay incentives. They have chosen instead for the cheap route and enslaved citizens and forced them to fight.

    I think the WW2 draft was more of a panic move than anything.

    Any draft is a general mobilization.

    This is not normally warranted except in an extreme emergency such as the N.Korean invasion in 1950, the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, or the Ft. Sumter rebellion in 1861.

    The USA should have stayed out of Viet Nam and out of WW1 -- which were the other 2 times there was a draft in US History.

    It wasn't warranted in any of those cases. The US government had enough money to offer incentives to entice enough volunteers in all of those cases.

    Korea: most of the fighting was conducted by professional soldiers.

    WW2: the government was getting so many volunteers there were lines around the block at recruiting offices and they eventually shut them down and made it illegal for people to volunteer. Getting v Punters would have been no problem.

    Civil War: most soldiers again were volunteers. Conscription came late in the war when the US government transitioned to the idiotic human wave tactics of Grant.

    It was created when Russia invaded and was supported by Reagan and the Pakistani government. As always, it is the un-American Republican party that creates America's enemies.

    The Taliban and the Mujahadeen are not the same thing. The Taliban did not form until after the Soviets withdrew.
