Harkin calls Cheney a 'coward' and criticizes 'backdoor draft'
By The Associated Press
DES MOINES -- Sen. Tom Harkin called Vice President ***** Cheney a "coward" for
avoiding service in Vietnam and called on President Bush to end the "backdoor
draft."
The Iowa Democrat was responding Friday to the call-up of a Des Moines police
officer who has already completed his eight-year military commitment.
Harkin echoed comments earlier this week by Des Moines Police Chief William
McCarthy, who said the military's treatment of Des Moines Police Officer Rodell
Nydam was "evil."
Nydam, 26, is being called back to Iraq despite finishing his National Guard
commitment in April. He's being called up under the military's "stop loss"
exemption, which can extend duty in wartime.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
".........the military's "stop loss" exemption, which can extend duty in wartime........."
In Bush's everlasting war, a soldier's military commitment will be extended for ever.
Nobody will ever get out of the military.
Unless they come home in a body-bag.

The Count escaped by putting himself into a body bag in place of another
dead prisoner. So you figure that makes sense for a person in the US
military to do? Are you recommending that?
