With war in Iran right around the corner. And with US troops stretched as thin as a Hilton sister, I foresee the draft, the involuntary conscription of US citizens into the armed services, as an inevitable conclusion of a two-decade-old policy, which was in acted with the ‘will of the people’, ended by the wants of the privileged.
‘So, when is it coming oh great Sarkastak?’ Oh----*Rubs his forehead.*(Not to divine mystical energy but because all the shit gives me a migraine.) I see March, maybe April, shortly after the Bush Administration begins their ill-conceived plan to hit Teheran.
In fact, a bill is already in congress to do this and it has come from the most unlikely of sources, Charles Rangle, democratic congressional representative and Korean War Vet. Why would Rangle do this? His answer is an idealistic yet all too foolish proposal that reasons by having a conscript military, politicos will be a little less likely to push our armed forces into a war.
Wrong, wrong-----wrong! All passage of such an act will do is give ‘Dubyah’ the cannon fodder to go into the breach of his crusade. I stand by this prediction, along with the prediction the US will be asshole deep in Iran in the next two months, give, or take a month.
So, if you don’t like fruitless strategically devoid military operations and cuscus now would be the time to go somewhere warmer or colder *wink*. Hope the conscientious objectors like hockey and tortillas cause if you are between 18 and 45, are marginally healthy, have a Y chromosome, and are allergic to shrapnel this is your only option.
