THE DRAFT SHAFT

I am sure most of you will have seen this E-mail… Or even heard it on that credible "news network" MTV…(I wish they just did music, I said music mind you, not rap.) Anyways, for those of you who want a review here it is…

"Mandatory draft for boys and girls (ages 18-26) starting June 15, 2005, is something that everyone should know about. This literally affects everyone since we all have or know children that will have to go if this bill passes.

There is pending legislation in the house and senate (twin bills: S89 and HR 163) which will time the program's initiation so the draft can begin as early as spring, 2005, just after the 2004 presidential election. The administration is quietly trying to get these bills passed now, while the public's attention is on the elections, so our action on this is needed immediately. Details and links follow. This plan, among other things, eliminates higher education as a shelter and includes women in the draft. Also, crossing into Canada has already been made very difficult.

Actions: Please send this on to all the parents and teachers you know, and all the aunts and uncles, grandparents, godparents. . . And let your children know - - it's their future, and they can be a powerful voice for change!

This legislation is called HR 163 and can be found in detail at this website: http://thomas.loc.gov/ Just enter in "HR 163" and click search and will bring up the bill for you to read. "

Now I have gotten this letter more than five times now… So to those of you idiots who keep sending it to me, STOP IT!!!!!!!… (damn that felt good) Now that I have said that allow me to add a bit more… Those of you who send emails like this are often those morons who send me other BULLSHIT forwards like "send this to everyone you know and bill gates will give you thousands of dollars." "Outback steak house will give you free food if you forwards this… trust me it WORKS" "Forward this to 100 people or else the love fairy will come along and rip your heart out of your chest, and then cut of your penis and send you to the playboy mansion."(Actually that one almost came true…) Anyways…. STOP SENDING THOSE TOO, YOU FRICKING A-HOLE!

Now lets get on with the point of this soon to be famous post! This draft in 2005 donkeyshit is exactly what I say, shit spewing from the mouth of the democratic party. I understand the democrats have a lot ridding on the election, but bringing up the draft is just getting pathetic…

So here is the scoop on the poop. There will be no draft! Let me repeat that… THERE…. WILL…. BE…. NO…. DRAFT…. And here are some reasons why… Number 1 reason: Wars are NOT fought the way they used to be… we can do more fighting, more combat, and cause more destruction with a fraction of men that we used. You may argue that man power is needed to keep peace… Men are needed to patrol the streets of IRAQ or any country under possible civil turmoil… And that is why the "evil" administration is focusing on the Iraqi's to police their streets. Only 50,000 now are being trained… more money and time will be invested to get the locals to lead themselves, before a draft…

Number 2: Women will definitely not be drafted… Women would be a last resort… Nothing against my female counterparts, but hardly any of them make it to the front lines when they volunteer. It is a tough job, men are typically more suited for it… I think its evolution. (one bull can fertilize the herd…)Anyways, ladies, if in the off chance we enter a world war three and women are called into a draft, you'll be there running computers… or possibly driving a tank… us dudes will be out walking with a little gun on our side…

Number 2.5: number two was only for women… Now there is draft legislation floating around the congress… It was set up by two Democrats, a Mr. Charles Rangel from Harlem, and the soon to retire Mr. Ernest Hollings from South Carolina. Now there reasons range from not thinking the rich are there fighting… (poor, poor, Pat Tillman… He died serving our country when he could be playing football…) And another reason is because these guys love our smaller European countries that require mandatory service… Well folks as much as a good idea these two think it is, I am sure they know deep down that this will fail legislation.

Number 3: Okay… here is the thing. BUSH has said numerous times that he will not issue a draft! He believes in the young men and women who volunteer to serve our country. Draft soldiers do not have a fighting spirit like those who volunteer. Draft soldiers can often get in the way more than helping, especially in this day in age when I see constant attacks by the media and the elite left who try to brake the morality of our beloved soldiers, and the publics support. (they hate that by the way.)

Number 4: EVEN if Bush did want to issue a draft… He can't do it alone… He would have to pass legislation, have it approved and then he could sign off on it… That’s not going to happen silently nor will it get the votes… Those boys in the white house have different term limits. Bush can only be president for a maximum of 8 years, and then he'll be done… some senators and congressmen can go for 20 plus years… just look at Kerry. They like those jobs, they get comfortable, they will not do anything extreme like voting for a reissue of the draft…

Now to address other parts of this Email… they say the borders are getting tighter by Canada… I say about time but that’s beside the point! The borders are getting tight… we are being stricter on who comes INTO the country not out!!! It would be up to Canada to let you in, and trust me they want you in… the more people they can tax the better…
So enclosing… email you friends and tell them Bill gates won't give you a million dollars for forwarding emails, tell them the draft non-sense is what it is… And as a personal favor to me, and some friends of mine that are in the reserves and now being called up… Do not call it a back door draft… Most people that are reservists that are being called back up hate that… They volunteered for a reason, there are things people think are still worth fighting for… There are people who still have enough pride in this country that they are willing to risk their lives for it… And these people deserve the respect of what a true volunteer deserves… Please send my message on… tell those who have concern the truth… Allow them the freedom to vote for who ever they wish, just make sure they know to rule this "issue" out when making a decision… its just bullshit politics…

Thank you to my service men and women...

Lego, if anyone send you this email forward them to snopes.com, which is a website that investigates all of these urban legends.

Here is the link for the response to the draft scare email you listed above:

Fact is, democrats introduced those two bills as an anti-war statement.
