Bringing Back the Draft?

Lately we been hearing from certain politicians, that it would be a good idea to bring the draft back. The rationale for this is, that there would be an equitable representation of people making sacrifices. However, we already have an equitable representation of people making sacrifices in this war. It does not matter what color you are, we all bleed the same color: RED.

Charles Rangel New York Democrat first introduced a bill in Congress to reinstate the draft http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/01/07/rangel.draft/ because he was agaisnt it. Now, John Kerry is trying to tell us, that President Bush is planning to reinstate the draft in November if he wins. Kerry is trying to scare us, but the truth is, draftees are a poor choice. The army needs educated young men, and women to fill out some of its sophisticated billets. Even in the infantry, we need soldiers with basic skills, such as math in order to do calculations to find positions on a map, how to align the mortars that support the infantry, and call for airstrikes when we find ourselves in a jam.

So, do not believe this hype about the draft, because it won't happen. As a matter of fact the armed services encountered problems trying to recruit minorities as well as to retain them in their ranks for more see this link http://www.dod.mil/prhome/poprep2002/chapter2/c2_raceth.htm and see if we do not have equitable representation.

The Wounded Come Home

I came upon this article that Mark Thompson from Time Magazine wrote November 3, 2003 regarding our wounded soldiers in Iraq. I am a strong supporter of the War however, this article helps put things into perspective by showing how our soldiers are coping with their injuries. What is more amazing is that despite their serious injuries, the soldiers in the article are proud of their service! I was a grunt in the Marines and I do believe that war is horrible, but if we do not fight for our freedom, there will be no Republic worth fighting for. So, click on above, and read this moving article.

CBS Producer on Thin Ice After Guard Story

So Mary Mapes the veteran producer at CBS News is supposedly in trouble -if you believe it-for the fake story about President Bush's National Guard Service well it is too bad for this liberal who went into journalism because she wanted to make a difference. It just breaks my heart to know these ultra liberals always go into journalism so they can make a difference in the world. Oh well, if you want to cry just click on the link above and read her story.

Why We Are a Great Nation

Today I read an article on The New York Sun by Thomas Bray about the sad state of the European military. This is a fantastic piece by Mr. Bray because it brings to light what is wrong with 'Old Europe' and why our friends at the other side of the pound cannot help us to fight terrorism. Mr Bray writes:

"the hard fact is that the European military establishment, never very large to begin with, is a 90-pound weakling. America, despite years of cutbacks beginning in the wake of the Cold War, plunked down nearly $400 billion last year to support its military. That's about 3.7% of gross domestic product, only about half the amount spent at the height of the Cold War. The European Union, by contrast, spends less than 2% percent of its GDP on the military."

Contrast this with what Kerry is saying. He wants a broader coalition-France and Germany?- when in reality the facts of the matter paints a different reality. Europe prefers to spend more on its welfare state than its military, but when the crap hits the fan, who Europe turns to for help? Us of course. No wonder why Europe and most of the world hate us.

What Female Prisoners?

As you probably already know, the 2nd U.S hostage was killed in Iraq by that little shit Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. He said he would kill the American hostages if female prisoners were not release. But there is one problem with that, there are no female prisoners except for two. They are Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash who was a Ba'th Party Regional Command Member and better known as 'Mrs. Anthrax', a biological weapons researcher, and Dr. Rihab Rashid Taha 'Dr. Germ' who helped Iraq make weapons out of Amtrak. The word is that 'Dr. Germ' trained Abu Musab al-Zarqawi on the use of chemical weapons.

So, was this guy is doing is sending a message to those two held by our forces, since one of them is about to spill the beans on WMD, and the role Abu Musab al-Zarqawi played. He wants to intimidate them not to say anything, because those two still have relatives around. So keep an eye on this story because it is going to be interesting.
