Police State: Bringing Back the Draft
Al Lorentz October 26 2003

Recently there has been discussion on The Hill by our elected
representatives regarding the re-institution of the draft. The draft
was phased in the Vietnam era after the war and replaced by the
Volunteer Army.

The volunteer Army has been a success more or less although now
problems are starting to arise.

Because asshat liberals all wanted to destroy the military so they could
increase the size of their handouts.

Those current problems arise from an Orwellian police state that
refuses to deal with reality. The Army is stretched so thin that it
is nothing more than a paper tiger filled with "ghost soldiers" to
cover many of our un-Constitutional commitments. Rather than realize
that perhaps they are reaching far beyond their grasp or, God forbid,
they should read the Constitution and cease all un-Constitutional
deployments, our politicians do what they always do in these
situations.

First it's the liberals that can't face reality. You cannot overdeploy (for
8 years under Clinton right through today) and not fund the military.

Second what "un-constitutional" deployments? I suspect you need to read the
Constitution before you say something else this stupid.

They steal from the American people to cover their deficits.

Ok I wouldn't argue that, income tax is a Democrat/liberal created plague
on the US worker.

Look for instance at the growing budget crises in various cities and
states here in America. In a down economy, income and hence taxes,
are reduced. The average household when faced with a smaller income
reduces spending, but not government.

Yeah and the libs solution is to borrow more, spend more, increase taxes.
When income is up they save a paltry amount and increase spending, when
it's down, all that spending is "critical".

Government instead, demands tax increases to cover the budget
shortfalls. The concept of perhaps cutting out some or most of the
un-necessary functions of government never seem to dawn on city and
state governments. This is primarily due to the docility and
complacency of the American people, thanks to their successful
indoctrination in Public Educational facilities.

No it's because the frigging liberals are in control of the legislatures in
most cities/states.

In the past, I have advocated a selective draft, one specifically
aimed at drafting only the children of the political "elite". These
draftees would be the first to deploy into any combat operation, there
would be no exemptions, waivers or the usual special treatment given
to the offspring of our servants turned masters. I predict that
un-necessary wars would thus drop to zero, military equipment would
actually do what it is supposed to do and that military pay, veterans
healthcare and living conditions would become comparable to that of
the civilian sector.

Clearly you're an idiot.

But the draft, just like taxation, will be selective, that is, it
