Link SSS's .gov site concerning the DRAFT! It is for real folks!

Of course it is the most convoluted and confusing crap ever but here it is folks, all the proof you'll need from the Selective Services System's own website.

Here's the link:

http://www.sss.gov/perfplan_fy2004.html

Read it and weep, and, oh yeah, tell everyone you know.

2. When the IRR troops get called up ...

the draft is right around the corner. Friends, if Bush has to call up the IRR before the election, you are guaran-damn-teed a draft if Bush is elected. Calling up the IRR is politically risky, and would not be done by the cabal unless the manpower situation is desperate. If they get four more years, they will go with the draft early, and then hope they can develop the situation to either stay in power, or profit from warmongering for four years. Either way, a Bush election is a disaster for the working people of America.
- I'm IRR and I won't be surprised to get a letter in the mail. :mad:

4. In Oregon and Washington, the IRR are apparently being called up

And if they don't contact the military by May 18th to state their preferences on units, the military will assign them where they are needed most.

7. That's right, 17000 in the IRR, even Company B of the Honor Guard!!

They have scraped the bottom of the barrel

Most ominously, this activation plan gears up the Altrernative Service for the first time in 31 years!

They are really going to reinstate the DRAFT!

BUSH '04 = DRAFT '05

KERRY HAS A NO-DRAFT PLAN THAT ADDS 40,000 ACTIVE DUTY TROOPS AND REDUCES US FORCES IN IRAQ.

SO VOTE FOR KERRY. THANK YOU.

9. Kerry Might Institute the Draft Too

Remember, Kerry supports "staying the course" in Iraq too. Given how stretched things already are, sooner or later that's going to mean bringing back the draft.

In fact, there might be an even greater danger of a draft under Kerry, since he could probably get away with it with less resistance.

15. Kerry will end the stupid "US must keep control" strategy ...

and get the UN back onboard. Nobody wants to play with Emperor Bush anymore. There will be no draft under Kerry. Our friends in the international community will help us when the US is no longer controlled by a cabal whose guiding principle is greed. Hope it helps.

14. I agree..

How I see it, there are two scenarios. God forbid, Bush wins the election and he institutes the draft knowing he has nothing to lose. Or Kerry will win, but inherit a situation so deteriorated, that he will have no choice but to institute a draft.
