Bring the draft back? I fear for our sons..

by LyinEyes in

i am feeling a bit emotional today,,,,,, i was watching cnn today and there is a big debate going on , if they are going to do another draft like back in the vietnam war.

this made me stand still in my tracks.

omg.

((((((DeDe)))))...I really don't think you have anything to worry about (check out Number 2) If there is a war..even if he was drafted the war would more than likely be over before he even made it out of boot camp.

Sequence of Events

Here is a brief overview of what would occur if the United States returned to a draft:

1. CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT AUTHORIZE A DRAFT A crisis occurs which requires more troops than the volunteer military can supply. Congress passes and the President signs legislation which starts a draft.

2. THE LOTTERY A lottery based on birthdays determines the order in which registered men are called up by Selective Service. The first to be called, in a sequence determined by the lottery, will be men whose 20th birthday falls during that year, followed, if needed, by those aged 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25. 18-year-olds and those turning 19 would probably not be drafted.

3. ALL PARTS OF SELECTIVE SERVICE ARE ACTIVATED The Agency activates and orders its State Directors and Reserve Forces Officers to report for duty. See also Agency Structure.

4. PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND MORAL EVALUATION OF REGISTRANTS Registrants with low lottery numbers are ordered to report for a physical, mental, and moral evaluation at a Military Entrance Processing Station to determine whether they are fit for military service. Once he is notified of the results of the evaluation, a registrant will be given 10 days to file a claim for exemption, postponement, or deferment. See also Classifications .

5. LOCAL AND APPEAL BOARDS ACTIVATED AND INDUCTION NOTICES SENT Local and Appeal Boards will process registrant claims. Those who pass the military evaluation will receive induction orders. An inductee will have 10 days to report to a local Military Entrance Processing Station for induction.

6. FIRST DRAFTEES ARE INDUCTED According to current plans, Selective Service must deliver the first inductees to the military within 193 days from the onset of a crisis.

Tolerance

you know most of us spend a large part of our lives in a religion that allowed for no independant thinking.

we were taught and taught others that ours was the only way and anyone who thought differently was going to be judged unworthy and die.

anyone who presumed to think outside the box was branded "apostate" or not good association.

You can disagree with someone without being rude. Human compassion is becoming more and more rare...it's really sad when you feel a need to belittle someone.When I am guilty of it ...it's usually because I don't feel too good about myself.

bigboi...cute name for a dog...curious..what do they call it for short?

We had a springer spaniel named Rudy B. Cool. He used to jump up and wrap his arms around our waist really tight and hug us...and smile...I'm not kidding...first time he did that I thought he was rabid...we had a neighbor lady that lived next door and was really grumpy and never said hello to us...one day I was in the back yard and she was too and she came up to the fence and said " Do you know that your dog jumps up on the fence everytime it sees me and gives me a huge smile!!" First time she ever spoke to me and smiled herself.

We went on a trip once and put sun glasses and a hat on him....he didn't ever try to get them off....He seemed to know if he wore it he got more attention from people...He got his picture taken by so many people on that trip...God I miss that dog!!

.

when you were first realised the truth was wrong did you think you were the only one?.

i did.i had worked out the gentile times could not be right, but had not realised what this ment about the governing body etc.i knew there were apostates, but i thought these were just people who hated the religion.i was ready to research and find out the truth about the organisation.then i looked on the internet and found that thousands of people had beaten me to it already..

i stated that u r driven by a pathetic desire to destroy the "EVIL" empire and destroy other people's faith.

Amazing that you think you know what drives us. I am driven to save children from being molested...it may be too late for my niece...but I care about other children .Do you?
