Selective Service...yeah, about that..

[Dutch Pimp]

The last three years of the last draft era (1970-1973) was done by lottery numbers. Your birth date was assigned a #1-366. They only drafted people who had a number below #100. Everyone else #101-366 got a free pass. The good ole days.....:yeahright:

I think all the members of my old local draft board (1173) was Battan Death March survirours. They wanted me to go kill as many Asians as possible, I tried explaining to them, that's not my cup of tea, but they insisted I go. Drafted summer of '67...the summer of love.

So ridiculous...it pretty much says that once the president gets enough of our troops killed in that hellhole, the draft starts and we're supposed to go get killed too...fuck that shit, viva canada..I'm an American, and I'll fight for America, but not another country full of insurgents that could give a rats ass about whether or not I wake up the next day..

When the Bush administration finds the proper excuse/lie to invade Iran.

i dont think iran is very powerfull. im talking about a nation who is developed and has a advance military. some country that can hold their own against the U.S. .

Military of Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's a lot of soldiers as far as I'm concerned..

500,000 troops vs. millions of U.S. troops :wtf:

You need not just troops but replacements when they rotate out. Iran is 3 or 4 times the size of iraq, both in area and population. We have 160,000 troops in iraq, and not enough replacements to maintain even that beyond next spring. An invasion of iran would require a bare minimum of a a half million, and another half million to replace them, not counting those in iraq, afganistan, south korea. We don't have them without a draft. It's not the invasion that's the hard part, it the what then. Just tell them you're gay.

We also have 140,000 highly paid mercenaries from Blackwater in Iraq that have been giving free reign to kill who ever they want.There is NO RULES OF ENGAGEMENT in Iraq.And we still will never get the job done.Just like Russia couldn't get the job done in Afghanistan and just like we got our ass kicked in Nam. You can not fight a guerrrilla war where the civilians don't want us there.

Here's an example of what I was talking about Blackwater.They signed an agreement that they can not be held legally liable for anything they do in Iraq.

I think the UN should become involved in this and file a war crimes case against all Blackwater employees that have been in Iraq.

The link you posted put said blackwater had about a thousand people in iraq, the 140,000 is the total number of contractors from all countries doing many things, most of them not of a mercenary nature. And it woud seem their licence to kill has been revoked.

Howdy Markass,

Our soldiers are fighting the terrorists in Iraq,would you rather have the front-lines moved to America ? By engaging them in Iraq and Afghanistan,we keep them over there,where their traditional bases of operation are at,as well as their State supporters and trainers,the iranians and syrians.

If we withdraw and let Iran take over,we can expect very shortly,to be blackmailed economically,by their shutting down of oil supplies to not only us,but to the West as well..and like the russians,they will use their oil revenues to acquire an even bigger military,as well as acquire nukes more quickly.

I hope that someday,you will feel more like giving back to yer country,instead of just taking from yer country.

Have a good one ...

They either don't realize what's at stake or don't give a rats ass. We've killed over 2,500 Al-Quada since the beginning of the year there and they STILL give the cut and run cry?

The left doesn't realize that these people don't want to talk over a cup of coffee and donuts.....they want to see us ALL under an Islamic rule of law. It's preached by the Clerics and even in the preamble of the Iranian Constitution but hey......it's a hell of alot easier to run off to Canada.

Also, the radical far left just LOVES to compare Iraq to Vietnam but they never give a reason for the comparison. When someone can show me an "actual" true comparison with insurgent groups and their threat to the U.S. OR troop losses I'll believe it but they'll be hard pressed to find that info. All that comparison crap is nothing more than the far left to try to resurrect the "60"s. I got some tie dye shirts and long hair but that sure doesn't prevent me from facing reality.

Have a good one!:s4:
