I'm not worried. Draft bills get made up all the time and get shot down.

This is like the 20th draft bill Rangel has proposed. I don't know why he doesn't just give up.

Germany does this, but most women can't hack it in the Army, so chicks spend their two years doing some sort of other job to free up men to carry rifles. |

Most women are every bit as capable of being in the military as a man is. It's just that society teaches them that said things are un-femenin. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

I'd support a bill that stated that people in this country need to get off their asses and work real jobs out in the cotton fields, oil patches, meat packing plants, etc .... so that all the illegals will stop coming over to do those jobs....
heh  IF we drafted people and made them work those jobs I'd support it but not to kill minorities in the name of god and shit. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

Nursing and administrative and other non combat fields do exist. I would like to see something like the public works, but only if they did pay for higher education too, maybe not fully just a 1:1 trade for time spent.. |
