Reply #10: Why the recruiting trouble [View All]

[JackSwift]

These chickenhawks of all ages are going on about what a fine thing it is for the US of A to go democratizing Middle East countries that happen to have oil, and they are calling up reserves, some of whom are older than Bush, but they are having a recruitment problem.

What gives with that? Why can't people who love freedom for Iraqis (freepers and neo-conservatives in general) see that drafting people is taking away their freedom? Can't they see that it is noble to sign up to fight for someone else's freedom? As a percentage of the population, or even the right wing, we are only asking for a few of their children to go fight and hopefully not die or get seriously wounded. Why is there no talk of a recruitment drive?

In World War II, even a racist scum like Strom Thurmond left Congress to serve at what was then an old age. Others did too. Why isn't Rush talking about the need for volunteers on his show every other day?
