Rangel wants to draft 18-42 to continue with the war for Israel agenda
"Daryl Hunt" wrote in message ... No freedom-loving American advocates forcing anyone into uniform. One can be a freedom loving American but have to understand the price. I know of a whole two generations that paid that price. If we aren't willing to pay that price then we don't deserve freedom. You don't have freedom if you're forced to do something. |

No one is forced into uniform nowadays and I believe that is just plain wrong. EVERY AMERICAN should spend some time in uniform and somewhere overseas to finally appreciate what we have here. The boys go fight and get blown up and shot at while the girls stay in support functions where they may be a little safer. Iraq is special now because no place is any safer than any other so many of our girls get hurt and killed anyway. Very true. In fact the death count in D.C. continues to be higher than the count in Iraq. You're safer in Iraq than the streets of D.C. -Robert |

By your definition all the major forces of WWII were "slave" armies. The NVA was also a "slave" army. So was Saddam's. So is Israel's. So maybe your as full of **** as a Thanksgiving turkey.

wrote: My statement is obviously correct, you could not challenge it. I did not challenge it. I only pointed out a historical fact. Some "slave" armies won, some lost. It's interesting that you stuff your turkeys with ****, it possibly explains a lot. We have better recipies here in Canukistan. I met some fine Canadians at Ft. Knox earlier this year. I've relatives in Toronto. I've visited many times over my 12 lustrums. Most I've met were "salt of the earth" folks. But there are exceptions to every rule. My comment addresses the following exchange: Regarding mandatory, uniformed service, McNicoll says, "No freedom-loving American advocates forcing anyone into uniform." Hunt replies: "One can be a freedom loving American but have to understand the price. I know of a whole two generations that paid that price. If we aren't willing to pay that price then we don't deserve freedom." You then chime in with a non-sequitur: "The last time you went for a slave army, it didn't work out too well." Aside from the sheer illogiic of your comment you display the typical lack of historical knowledge or perspective common in North American Yuppiescum and their spawn. I'm not sure what your point was. I doubt you know what your point was. Bill Kambic Haras Lucero, Kingston, TN Mangalarga Marchador: Uma Raça, Uma Paixão |

Take that DC death count--the real one--and subtract from that the number of "drug-related" corner boys killing corner boys. Take the Iraq death count and add to it the number of catastrophic body damage--people who will never walk, talk, see, think straight again. And your Iraq death count, of course, will include the thousands of Iraqis caught in the crossfire. I mean, their welfare was the point of this war, according to the neo-cons--or are they some kind of non-human casualty not to considered in your debased calculations? |

Rangel wants to draft 18-42 to continue with the war for Israel agenda
I'm not going to try to work through who said what and for what reason,
but would like to point out that at least two people think that the draft was good. My sister and I were discussing "our era" draft recently. She's a retired Commander and my sign-off hints at my pay grade. We came from a navy background and joined during the 1950s. We grew up in a uppr-class bedroom suburb of Boston and it's unlikely that we would have been exposed so closely to the American mixture of races, religions, national backgrounds, etc had the draft not been in effect during our time. We both feel that we gained from this long-term exposure. Everyone is an individual and we know enough not to think that we "know" their thoughts or likely actions because of their ethnic background. You can argue about what, if any, gain or loss the forces had from the draft (I think it did), but it is damn certain that the nation, as a whole, did gain. What illogic? Are you trying to say that the Vietnam draft had a good effect on the US? When a Repubnazi accuses someone of something, like lack of knowledge, it is invariably a description of himself. SeaWoe |
