Military DRAFT Could Include Women, Pacifists, Health care draft "likely"

[Dems Will Win]

GREETINGS!

More evidence that the DRAFT is getting more likely by the day. The plan to ready the DRAFT by June 15, 2005 (http://www.sss.gov/perfplan_fy2004.html), especially this Health Care DRAFT, now termed a "a likely scenario if we have a shortage of medical folks and this thing drags on out" by SSS Region II director Scraggs.

They certainly seem to be getting people more and more used to the idea of a DRAFT and especially the Health Care DRAFT, which would require ALL 3.4 million doctors and nurses under 45 to register at local Post Offices, quite possibly as soon as Bush is re-selected, in 2005. They seem to be getting people, especially women, ready for this--as it will difficult to get wholesale compliance with HCPDS registration.

Also Brodsky notes how hard it will be to get a CO, guys and gals. I know how hard it was to get mine during Vietnam. Only got it because my grandparents were members of the Ethical Culture Society.

This report from NewsMax is on a recent SSS Conference:


Military Draft Could Include Women, Pacifists

The U.S. Selective Service System is ready to reinstate the draft if ordered by Congress and President Bush. But in this unconventional war against terrorism, pacifists and women may be surprised to learn of their potential to be called to the service by Uncle Sam.

During a recent regional Selective Service conference, one item discussed was the inclusion of health care professionals in a wartime draft, noted Region II Director Col. Keith Scraggs.

According to Scraggs, a health-care draft "could be a likely scenario if we have a shortage of medical folks and this thing drags on out." That scenario would occur only in the event that "the active forces, the reserves and guard couldn't handle it," he added.

"Looking at the numbers of medical personnel required, the time frames and the kinds of skills required – it would have to include women," said Brodsky.

1. Let's see some of our DU chickenhawks get drafted

After their strong defense of the war, let's see how they like it when it is their necks on the line.

Perhaps they will then appreciate what we have been trying to tell them without success for these many months.

2. Time to change professions

I just renewed my license yesterday too. Suspend my license and throw me in jail I will be the first shot since Pvt. Eddie Slovack for desertion in time of war.

3. How lovely!

The jobs that might be left here after everything goes overseas, are going to be the most draft-susceptible. Gives me a lot of hope for my children.
