Mandatory Draft Bill Snuck In - To Be Debated 6-6-6. 

Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2006 2:49 am 

On February 14, 2006, Congressman Charles Rangel (Democrat - NY) introduced a bill (Universal National Service Act of 2006 - HR 4752 IH) aiming at drafting everyone - men and women alike - from the ages of 18 to 42 into the military for a minimum period of 2 years.

Or to quote the bill: "To provide for the common defense by requiring all persons in the United States, including women, between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes."

The House is to convene on June 6 (06/06/06] to debate and possibly adopt this bill, that is, unless a vast public outcry succeeds in derailing this insanity, which you can do by writing a letter of protest to your congress person through http://www.conservativeusa.org/mega-cong.htm or http://www.webslingerz.com/jhoffman/congress-email.html

Phone calls are even better. The numbers of all US Representatives are at:

Devious Viper:
I would like to play "Devil's Advocate" with this post, if I may, and ask for responses as to the relative merits or otherwise of a draft in the USA. If you think this is a bad idea, please tell us why, and vice versa. This is a hot potato of a topic, and it would be a shame for it to gather dust down here in Apoc's without stimulating some interesting debate.

EDIT: I am not, for the time being, going to give my views - I am not a US citizen or resident, and so my opinions are less important in this matter.
