Compulsory Military Service bill now in Congress

[33girl]

Because all the quoting would make people dizzy I will say I completely agree with Russ and that there should be no kind of compulsory service to the country, military or otherwise.

If we want to reinstate the CCC, then I'm all for it. But as far as I know people weren't forced to work for the CCC. There was also no welfare back then. If we're talking about getting people off welfare and into work mode, that has zilch to do with military service.

But getting back to the draft issue, I did see mentioned that if more troops were needed, some of the desk jobs that are presently done by military personnel would go back to civilians and those personnel would be reassigned.

There have been variations of that bill thrown around for decades now. Every few years something like it comes up and quickly disappears. It's not going to happen.

Anyone that has been in the military is against it, and all the liberal hippies out there are against it. The rest of America doesn't vote...

Basically, from my perspective of having been in the Army for three years now, I don't want a draft b/c I do not want unmotivated, un-skilled, un-qualified people around me in dangerous situations. A lot of people think that joining the military is a thing you do if you can't do anything better....well, those people that do that don't last in the military for long. I've seen plenty of men and women that just wanted the money but not the responsibility and they quickly fall out and quit.
