Did CBS talk about the White House reactivating the draft today?
Someone posted this on another board but with no links. They also said that the minimum age was being punched up to 45 years old. Anyone in the know....know??? :wtf:

9. People with those "special skills" would most likely be liberals.

Think about it. Nurses, medical technicians, and other union people?

I doubt they want useless executives or used car salesmen.

3. This should be stressed to the "Security Moms"
Won't you feel much more secure when little Johnny (or Jane) is fighting in some Middle-east country.

4. Minimum age?
Does that mean that they won't start drafting people until they are 45 years old?

7. There will be no draft.
Hell, we're just about the only ones talking about it. don't bother to link some 'secret memo', beaureaucrats, Dem & Repukes, write memos about everything. Means nothing.

10. I seriously doubted the White House would announce this before election.
But after election....

It would be Bush's way of saying "Thank you" for keeping him in office....
