....yes folks there is more serious consideration for beginning the draft again.... You can read about it here.... I suggest you prepare all the young people.
.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici...

In the first 15 seconds, he calls me a "maggot" and declares that this is "his" United States of America.
Um, excuse me?
Did your mother not teach you any manners? If you call me "maggot," nothing you say afterward will be taken seriously.
And, as I was born in New Jersey, I am an American. As a citizen, this country is as much mine as it is yours.
I will not be threatened, conscripted, and forced into military service. I am a free human being. And I'm not going to be sent overseas to kill other human beings. I have no beef with them.
You, on the other hand, you vile tyrant, you on the other hand are starting to seem like a tyrant. Tyrants are dangerous. Sic Semper Tyrannis and all that.
We can't have a slave army. This isn't Sparta. I'm not a helot. This is the fucking United State of America, a free country. The barking loon in the video can go fuck himself. I'll have nothing to do with him.
This guy should watch his mouth. This guy should watch his back.
Brian: A good bit of scaremongering. A reinstatement of the draft will NOT -- repeat -- NOT happen in my or your lifetime.
This marks the first time a senior member of Congress has seriously discussed reinstituting the draft in almost two years. Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, called for reinstituting the draft in November 2006.
Get real! Rangel's calls were hardly "serious." He was just trying to score cheap political points. There was nothing serious about it.
Nevertheless, the underlying message is still just as disgusting as I said.
The old message was, "We're the government and we own you."
The new message is "We're the government. We know longer own you but we have an option to lease."
Fuck. Them. Damn near every single soldier who perished in Iraq is worth more than George W. Bush. Who in the hell is he to send them to their death?
I'd trade GWB to get back Pat Tillman in a millisecond.
Our heroic young men are being sent to die for nothing. If there were a hell, Dick "I had other priorities" Cheney and George W. "Texas Air National Guard, not Vietnam" Bush would rot for eternity. Right next to Bin Laden.
The point is that the possiblity of a darft may not be as far off as you seem to think it is. There is serious discussion going on now between Petreaus and other high ups on re-instating the draft and they are soliciting support from both sides of the aisle...so you draw your own conclusions, but I am relatively confident that there WILL be a draft in our lifetime.
The ONLY way it'd happen is if we're attacked in a big way. Which, again, isn't very likely.
