Kerry's National Service Plan, a 1000 times better than Bush's Draft
Edited on Thu Apr-01-04 12:16 PM by ck4829
I just read Kerry's national service plan at his site.
Kerry's plan
It is far better that what any Draft could do. It has the potential to stimulate education, the economy, volunteerism, and many other things. It's just another reason to vote for Kerry this November.

2. I'm curious about something
Do you think Kerry will fall on his sword and withdraw from IraqNam? I don't.

I think it will take ten years or so and a hundred thousand or so dead american soldiers.


That being the case, and with re-enlistments plummeting, don't you think this is just the draft in sheep's clothing?

3. I hope not
I'm going to go to Kerry himself right now. I'll post later if and/or he replies to my question.

4. I hate this plan!!
If I am going to be coerced into national service, I want it to be for a shooting war only. On the shores of Manhaattan, or something. I can do my own feel good stuff, and do.

Why do Dems keep coming up with this kind of cr..stuff? Do we like to lose elections? I am beginning to think so.
