Now these "Neocon" Jew bastards are after our daughters, sisters, sweethearts, wives, and mothers.

Next will we see compulsory mixed gender and race showers, once drafted?

Could be. That's why they're circumcised - There's no end to these pricks.

Have a nice day, from Uncle Sharon.

I really feel a draft!

After making my earlier post this morning, helping out my wife, I found myself late this afternoon with my 15 year old son talking his learner's permit exam at the DMV. Imagine my surprise to see that all the examiner's cubicles have a hastily copied black and white sheet posted in them which reads:

To All of our Customers Who are Male and Age 18 through 25:

Effective November 3, 2003:

...Completion of this application will be considered as proof of your consent to be registered with the Selective Service System per the requirements of Federal and State Law. If you decline to register, your application for a driver license, learner's permit or ID card will be denied.

I obtained a copy of the actual posting from our DMV customer service rep Henry who was kind enough to make one for us even though they are not supposed to make copies for customers. (Henry said he was one of the few in the DMV office who argued that there was something more to the appearance of this new policy. We bonded when I told him he was certainly correct!)

I see two things that don't agree between NC General Statute 20-9.2 referenced in the DMV posting and the derived DMV Customer posting: 1) The Statute does not explicitly say your driver license can be withheld. 2) The posting does not explicitly say that you are agreeing to have your information forwarded in electronic format to Selective Service (I assume this is meant to include your digital photograph.)

What's next?

I feel a draft

Until today, I had not actually taken the time to read the Universal National Service Act of 2003 sponsored by Rep Rangle and outgoing Senator Hollings of SC. Might be worth everyone's time to actually read it. Here are the highlights from Senator Hollings own website. For the full .pdf text of the bill you can go here. Below is the header to the Senate bill:

108TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION S. 89

To provide for the common defense by requiring that all young persons in the United States, including women, perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes.

Regardless of your level of support for this sort of effort, has it ever been prudent to allow the Federal Government a clause like, "...and for other purposes." ?

The received wisdom is, “not until after the 2004 elections.” Who knows? The Empire is desperately short of enlistments and re-enlistments.

A friend's son is stuck in Iraq for the season and his hitch was up a few months ago. They just ain't letting them out.

Look: Maybe the lemmings will finally get fed up with the system if our troops our forced to march because Homeland Security agents are holding machine guns to their backs. Hell, even the Russians got fed up with that sort of thing.

We're not going to be spared the humiliation of imperial decadence, folks.

Ragnar,

I think that you and Enkidu are right on this. They'll wait until after the election. As for those who serve, I suspect most of these folks are in, as they say, for the duration if the Zionists and their plutocratic friends have their way. Alot of nations left to invade and alot of idiots who will go along with them as long as it isn't their sons. I hope that it isn't just a handful who raise hell about this. Insist that this time, everyone is drafted and no exemptions for the Josh Chafetzs' of the world because daddy is a big time writer for some neo-con magazine.

Young Josh was sired by one who refused to serve in the American army, but fled to Israel and graced their military. Most certainly he is not inclined to fight for the USA.

Fritz Hollings is the last of the southern senators who fought in World War II and did so as infantry, if I recall correctly. Rangel fought courageously in Korea. Both are insulted that the rich can buy their way out.

One great reason to have the children of the affluent serve is that the military will not be shortchanged in having effective weapons and that foreign interventions will be much more thoughtfully considered. Or so I hope.

In the four years of active duty that I served, 1968 to 1972, in all honesty, I don’t think I met the son of anyone who even solid middle class, in fact, thinking as hard as I can, I can’t remember anyone whose parents were other than working class. Whatever happens, the “children of the affluent” will not be drafted.

As far as waiting until after the elections, that is what most analysts are saying. Can Bush wait that long? Next year, starting in only what, two days, may be the most interesting in recent history. Or in the words of our Glorious Emperor, “Bring it on.”
