Selective Service: This Is Only a Test
December 22nd, 2006With Bush and the enemy collaborator Democrats wanting a larger military…
Also, I like how the technocrat refers to his organization as “our machine.” Nice.

The Selective Service System is planning a comprehensive test of the military draft machinery, which hasn’t been run since 1998.
The agency is not gearing up for a draft, an agency official said Thursday. The test itself would not likely occur until 2009.
Meanwhile, the secretary for Veterans Affairs said that “society would benefit” if the U.S. were to bring back the draft and that it shouldn’t have any loopholes for anyone who is called to serve. Secretary Jim Nicholson later issued a statement saying he does not support reinstituting a draft.
The Selective Service “readiness exercise” would test the system that randomly chooses draftees by birth date and the network of appeals boards that decide how to deal with conscientious objectors and others who want to delay reporting for duty, said Scott Campbell, Selective Service director for operations and chief information officer.
“We’re kind of like a fire extinguisher. We sit on a shelf” until needed, Campbell said. “Everyone fears our machine for some reason. Our machine, unless the president and Congress get together and say, ‘Turn the machine on’ … we’re still on the shelf.”
Rumors On The Internets: You’re An Old Slut On Junk…
Walnuts McCain promised to kill himself if the GOP lost in November; he’s sadly still alive [The Right’s Field] Just kidding about the Draft! But even though we’ll never have a Draft, we’re just going to make sure everything…
It is curious that only two groups feel publically that we need to step up the effort in Iraq. George Bush and the new Demo leadership.
Here is one of the few places that we can actually get a look at the man behind the curtian. We don’t see him, mind you. But this is damn good evidence that he exists.
If they actually implement the draft, I would expect the unrest in the US grow. On the other hand, if I can keep on going to McHeaven and getting my order of freedom fries (and dioxine laced beef to boot!) in my SUV , why would I complain. I’ve got it all. God Bless America!
