So If There Is a Draft - Will Jenna and Barbara Be Included?

[Dem Agog]

I think it would be the ultimate in hypocrisy if they weren't. If Baghdad Bush is re-elected, I think the registrations of Jenna and Barbara should be publicized, and I think that every draft lottery/pull that comes out ought to be scrutinized by several parties to make sure that J&B aren't passed over "by accident"...

1. Well, according to what I read

it's a skills draft. And if I understood that properly that means you would be asked to serve doing something you're good at doing. So, I'm not sure, would the military have much use for pampered party girls who like to drink?

3. I Thought it was both Skills & Regular

15. Pampered girls who like to drink?

Lot's of guys in Iraq would like that!

[gratuitous]

2. No

And there's nothing that anyone can do about it.

4. They're female. Last I knew, only boys were required to Selective Service.

While I think it's about time that changed, that's the way the law reads now....

5. The New Draft was written for both males & females

As I read it...

10. Help

Could you tell me where to read about this new draft? This is something I don't know much about.

Thanks!

6. Or Pea Bush for that matter

I wouldn't count on it. Today the Bush family tends to view military service as menial work for the underlings of society. Granted, previous generations of Bush's didn't see it that way, but that was a long time ago. If they really, really have to serve though, they will be given desk assignments at the Pentagon with officer commissions, where they will never need to worry about being a pawn in the next neo-con lab experiment.

7. not a chance in hell.

8. I heard they're both slotted to be pilots

in the Texas Airhead National Guard.

12. **snarf**

Texas Airhead National Guard! Good one! :D

[Q3JR4]

9. Umm... No.

[oasis]

11. George Prescott Bush, Jeb's son and the adorable Pierce Bush, Niel's son

should be discussing their immediate futures with armed forces recruiters.

[dweller]

13. never knew a

kegger they wouldn't attend.

:beer:

[Minimus]

14. i would pity anyone having to serve with them

the twins would get their fellow soldiers killed

[MagickMuffin]

16. Why Heavens No

Everybody knows the bush women don't work.

They are subservients to their men.

That's why they don't do very well talking, and have to have things written down for them.

It's just to hard to think and speak at the same time!!!

17. The new dodge for the elite

I would be a rich man if there were any takers for a bet that in a 'skills draft" somehow even the dimson elites will have crafted havens "with honor" and uniforms similar to Reagan's stateside duty. No fuss no muss and honor up the whazoo with no risk to life and limb.

The unskilled and the honest will see their front line skills employed. After the fact some news media will weakly decry this result then shut up.

The next GOP President will be a skills draftee hanging out at the bars and strip joints who proudly "served" and hide behind all the rest.

The second bet is they certainly won't just rely on a college education to raise them above the Dems they spent years pricing out of college hopes. There will be other gimmicks to ensure the children of the elite will never be exported in harm's way.

Those Dems stupidly trying to call for a fair universal draft don't even see this coming, nor would believe it until it happens. My third bet.

19. I wonder if it would bother Bab's "beautiful mind"

if her granddaughter came home in a body bag, as other womens' grandchildren have.

[Mr_Spock]

20. No, they have more important work to do ----->

HAHAHAHA!!

[Ilsa]

21. Oh right, The Pentagon will have them planning USO tours in

the Mediterranean and Carribbean, where all the heavy fighting is going on. It'll be so easy for them, since they know all those famous entertainers, and know how to throw a big party and stiff the waitstaff.

I'm too disgusted to think about what those two will get away with.
