McCain: Only WWIII would justify draft

0 votes

With the desire for the warmongerers to go into Iran, I get impression they are psyching people up to accept a coming draft.

Only World War III would prompt Republican presidential candidate John McCain to bring back the military draft, McCain said on Tuesday.

Many Americans are fearful the U.S. government will be forced to reinstitute the draft given the prolonged Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Asked about that possibility by a potential voter in Florida during a telephone "town hall meeting," McCain said: "I don't know what would make a draft happen unless we were in an all-out World War III."

The United States ended its last military draft in 1973 in the waning years of the Vietnam war, moving to an all-volunteer military force.

McCain, a Vietnam veteran, said the draft during that conflict weighed most heavily on lower-income Americans, and that this should not be repeated.

"I do not believe the draft is even practicable or desirable," McCain said.

Bet

You can bet on a draft (men & women) if either one gets in.

Lord help us all

and our children and grandchildren!

ALL, ages 18 to 42, men and women. If not able to be in military service, then will be utilized by Homeland Security.

This draft bill is totally unreasonable and unacceptable!!!

This draft bill will never pass

They would have to write a completely new one. The one that Rangel introduced had a political purpose. See article below.
I apologize for it being from FOX news but it is similar to the other article I read explaining the bill and it's true purpose. It basically would place all elected officials children into service also with no deferrment options, the way it is written. It was done as a means of pointing out the unfairness of who winds up going to fight the war, being sucked in by the offer of lots of money, which poverty stricken people are more likely to respond to, not wealthy children from rich families etc.

Why do we still call them world wars?

Aren't they just Central Banking Wars? Or Global Policemen Wars? Or Empire Building Wars? Or Occupation and Demoralization Wars?

The part of the world that participates in these wars is either complicit or not aware of their role.

Hey, I got an idea, why don't we have a World Peace I? and aim for sovereignty of the individual and occupation of no world power on foreign lands, lets carry out this World Peace and announce it by the people to have started this July 4. Let's WAGE WORLD PEACE!

World War III

Shhhhh, don't tell McCain...but according to Newt Gingrich, World War III started a while back.

I thought the "War on Terror" was WWIII?

Ron Paul "Sign Wave Across the USA" -- November 5th!

I heard Bush say in an interview

that 9/11 was essentially the beginning of WWIII. It must have been on CNBC a couple of years ago, because I remember hearing it while riding across NM listening to satellite radio with my business partner. When we heard that, we both looked at each other and shook our heads in disbelief. So yes, absolutely they've been trying to condition us through the media. And then there are the neocons who are fully committed to getting WWIII underway in their lifetimes. Conscription cannot be far off. Instead of the debtors' prison there will the debtors' army, navy, air force, marines.

I think we're up to World

I think we're up to World War IIII.5 by now. Iran will be World War V, followed by World War VI, the war on the American people. To be followed by World War VII, the war against the rest of the planet, and then War of the Worlds I, the pre-emptive war to prevent the Martians from developing nucleonic weapons. Then War of the Worlds II, the defense of "Terran national self-interest" throughout the galaxy. But we finally really get our butts kicked in War of the Galaxies I, when the Andromedans confiscate the sun in retribution.

Wake me with the killer tomatoes attack.

"I get impression they are psyching people up to accept a coming draft."

Offer an alternative

Try this game on for size and see what you think. Could wake a lot of folks up with this.

So he says now.

So he says now. And his commercials promise that he is going to lower the price of energy, make America more secure, improve health care, protect the environment, ........... and I presume cure cancer, give everyone a million dollars, and make the lion lie down with the lamb.

Talk is cheap, and a politician's promises are not worth the air that are uttered into.

there is already a cure...

for cancer...and the government or drug companies or FDA cannot control it...because it is a natural food...

Yeah, but it's not made by

Yeah, but it's not made by Pfizer or some another giant pharmaceutical company, costing $125 a pill, so it doesn't count. And it probably doesn't even cause complications that require OTHER expensive drugs! We can't waste time on such crap when there's MONEY to be made by making people sick!

So spot on akak

Here is a list of businesses they are pestering now because they (FDA) deem these false or fake cancer cures.... my guess is: look at the ingredients and then do some homework on each of them. I saw at least 2 which are known to be successful in fighting cancer.

C'MON, THAT'S NOT FAIR!

Your forgetting he promises to kill every terrorist alive on this planet (no more evil doers), rid the world of all drugs forever especially that damned devil weed, and bring about a country where old folks drive safely. GOD BLESS JOHN MCCAIN! I'LL HAVE SECONDS!

LOL akak..good one. He
