Wrong on that.
I definitely do not espouse his point of view but he is an Airborne Ranger and was a company leader in combat (If I’m not mistaken in both Iraq and Afghanistan)
Putting his political agenda aside he is a fellow veteran who served his country with honor in combat.
I’ll not let that pass by someone calling him a chickenhawk when he is nothing of the sort.
Now the way I see it bringing back the draft (for both men and women) will pull in the reins on some of this stuff.
Or else establish an American Foreign Legion patterened after the French Foreign Legion; which are basically mercernaries for the French government (honorable and brave mercernaries but mercernaries just the same)

My question to you sparkelcity is, doesn’t Cotton sound like John Kerry? It’s it possible that Cotton has attempted to build his resume as Kerry was accused caused of during Vietnam? Think about it.

You heard it here from Shifty: The inkling of establishing the draft was dropped last week. It’s coming….

I hope there is massive disobedience, making what happened in the 60’s and 70’s look like a love fest for the draft. We should have moved beyond this point and be using only volunteers to prop up big oil and other multinational corporations, or third-world interests that stand to make them and the politicians paid by them, filthy rich.

The news article was put out by the Army and discussed the decrease in volunteer enlistments which created a shortage in some special units which I don’t remember. I didn’t save the article so I cant give you the link.

They won’t reinstate the draft until they get women registered with Selective Service.

I did see some congressman on one of the Sunday morning news shows around Memorial Day mentioning something about mandatory service. I think he is a veteran and a young guy at that (but it was NOT Cotton).
But then again I’m getting to the age that a LOT of men are YOUNGER than me!!!!

I was in the Army while the draft was still on and served with draftees the full 3 years I was in (1971-1974 as a volunteer).
I was in the 82nd Airborne and a bunch of the guys were draftees (but like they told us – you may have been drafted but you VOLUNTEERED to jump out of an airplane). We were all in the same boat no matter whether you were drafted or volunteered. During the Yom Kippur War alert (closest we came to combat after 1972) every single trooper pulled their own weight no matter what and the entire 82nd Airborne division was fully ready to go in less than 14 hours of the alert (a record that still stands today). I was proud of our division then and now.
As far as I’m concerned the draft should be brought back for men and women and if you lottery number comes up off you go. That would stop some of this BS that is going on now.

Of course someone wrote his talking points. And he’s stumbling over them trying to respond to this man. He was caught completely off guard.

Surely you realized my question was dripping in sarcasm?
