"The war on terrorism will not be over in our lifetime. It is different than the Gulf War was in the sense that it may never end. At least not in our lifetime. The way I think of it is, it's a new normalcy."

Vice President Dick Cheney, October 21, 2001.

ninty can you actually post something that has ANY relevance or weight to the topic at hand or do you just comb through the inter-web looking for whatever soundbite or piece of "info" that SOUNDS clever and relevant but really doesnt matter. . .

Great - VP Cheney recognizes the complexity of fighting an ideology and not a solid enemy - that has FUCK ALL to do with troop strength and the draft. . .

Youre wrong - and your sources while being TECHNICALLY right. . .misconstrue the message.

If you can't make the connection between the quote and the current situation, then I don't know what to tell you bud.

Which is another way of saying you cant back your quote up. Its a - one more time - irrelevant quote there guy. You have YET to establish any solid link between the "war on terror" and "current draft needs". Instead youve relied on links and websites that have taken out of context the task and responsibility of the SSB's. You - unsuprisingly - are playing dirty pool with facts to support your assertion.

Good on ya chap.

And where exactly are your facts?

The only thing you do in response to any post is try to intimidate with your "unlimited knowledge" on every subject.

I don't know how much blunter it can get. When an Army general, analyst or other person with knowledge and experience in the subject voices their opinion, I’d much rather listen to their view than your opinion that seems to shoot down anything anyone says that is contrary to your own beliefs.

I use articles, because as I’ve said before, I feel it important to back up the statements I make.

On this particular issue, it's impossible to know what will happen in the future, that is why we look to experts for opinions to the questions we want to know. There will always be people on either side until it can be proven one way or the other. Fact is, you can't say with 100% certainty that there will be no draft. And I can't say there will be a draft with total conviction. All I can do is research the topic, and come to an educated conclusion.

Just FYI on this...

This year there has been a very pointed and blatant push for employers to ensure that every company displays the USERRA information. If you don't know what that is, you can read about it here:

http://www.osc.gov/userra.htm

The acronymn stands for Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. This act guarantees that anyone who is drafted into service will be given their job or a comparable job back upon their return.

Just something to think about.

That act also covers volunteers, which is something that we don't have in Canada that we should.

If a reservist is deployed in Canada, the place he worked for doesn't have to give him his job back. We probably don't have legislation like this because in order for reservists to be deployed, they must volunteer. But if we were ever in the situation where reservists were forcibly deployed, many people could be out of their day jobs.

The one thing I notice is that the people who serem to be representing liberal viewpoints...are the only ones considering and respecting the other side.

true, but coleman and drew were cool. i thought it would be cool at first to have a political forum, but just like in offtopic, it just turns into a flamewar. i find it pointless to engage in politcs on this site.
