Nothing we really can do at this point than hope things turn for the better, but that just doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon.
You would be surprised what you can do when your life is in danger. The first time I saw tracers go by my head, I didn't want to shoot back. I wanted to stop my truck, get out, chase those ba$tards down on foot, and strangle them to death. It was like, YOU shot at ME? I wanted to make it personal. Call it warrior spirit, call it what you will, but I've never felt anything like it. Unfortunately I had a convoy to escort and protect, so we returned fire as we rolled along and just kept going.

lmao why? No rules are being broken. And if I showed you the size you'd never be able to look at your own internet penis without utter shame again.

Q. What is this 'truth' we'll hear about in the future?
P. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) and Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-SC) introduced proposals to restore the draft in 2003. The House voted on that bill, defeating it 402-2.
P&Q. Fatmike, you do realize you can serve YOUR country without killing another human being. Running to Canada, in the event a draft does occur, certainly won't tip the scales in favor of you being a considered a brave American. Would you feel differently if the war were here? On US Soil.
P. Finally, this complete BS about Refusal to Discharge Is an Involuntary Draft is driving me nuts. Before you are activated in the US Armed Services, you sign a ton of paperwork. It clearly states your obligations are not simply or exactly limited to the lenght of time you sign up for. By signing up, you agree to those terms, including extended duty and re-calls(Inactive Reserves). A point MM and others leave out of their dis/mis/non-information.

True, but what is not being publicized is that ACTIVE DUTY
Army is being allowed to ETS or ask for reassignment- even if that means they would exit a combat zone, while National Guard troops are being involuntarily extended.
To further slap us in the face, there is a provision in the Thrift Savings Plan (automatic voluntary payroll withdrawl to a mutual fund account) that would allow for matching contributions if you are in a critical MOS. Problem is, they never designated any MOS as critical. Currently, they are training every and any unit they can find to fill MP missions. They are extending NG MP soldiers up to and exceeding one year past their ETS dates. Yet this is still not a critical enough MOS to get a 4% matching govt contribution? Talk about rubbing salt in a wound.

This is one serious issue I have with what's going on in Iraq now. Yeah yeah everyone signs the dotted line and there are provisions about when your times ends and possible reserve time etc etc etc. but that in no way makes it right what has happened to many of our guys over there. Some of these NG guys (like sandman) were hung out in Iraq for about 1.5 years; some longer. That's PISSPOOR planning, period. Meanwhile, active duty units roll in and out in 6 month rotations. It's just wrong and should never have gone down that way. They are just now starting to pull forces from here in Korea to fill Iraq slots...this is an option that should've been realized and worked out a long time ago. It seems like we just went into Iraq thinking they'd roll over and die like the first Gulf War. I'd go over there in a heartbeat and fill one of those slots so some guy who's been there for so long can come home, get a much needed break, see his/her family and relax. Too bad they aren't looking for any AF Rambo types right now though but the point is there are plenty of options that have never even been considered that would have been more favorable than hanging out reservists out to dry.

Yeah. I don't have a big political family to give me everything on a silver platter.
