What will happen when George "AWOL" Bush runs out of Guardsmen to draft?

[mtnsnake]

It's ironic that George "AWOL" Bush uses the National Guard today for the exact opposite reason why he "joined" it 30+ years ago.

What's happening with the National Guard is just a sleazy back-door draft if I've ever seen one, a draft executed by a slimy COWARD who'd never EVER join the National Guard under today's circumstances. No wonder the Coward in Chief told his sheep right from the start that "there will not be a draft". He found a way to draft people without having to call it by its proper name. Thing is, Bush thought his corrupt war for oil would be over long before his expendable resources of soldiers died out. Boy was he ever wrong....again. This atrocious war is long from over.

It's alarming to know that something like 40% of our fighting forces in Iraq are National Guardsmen and reservists, many who claim to be ill-trained for fighting the war. If that's not a backdoor draft, I don't know what is. I seriously doubt that very many Americans are breaking down the doors anymore to sign up for the Guard.

So what happens when this very limited resource for Bushco eventually dries up?

2. A front door draft.

Another reason to get our asses out of Iraq immediately! They will use up our children if we allow it. If we allow it, we are as guilty as they.

3. Remember, these are the guys so callous they set up a recruiting

station for evacuees at the astrodome. They will still find some way to keep the priveledged bush kids out of the service, not to mention out of jail.

4. Don't forget the call for 40,000 Red Cross "Volunteers"...

Peace.

5. They will use nuclear weapons to blow up other cities they don't like.

As for the draft, I believe they don't want one because the entire population gets upset when their "safe" children are up for the draft. The riots and demonstrations we had in the US in the 60's and 70's forced the government to get out of Vietnam. They're trying to play it safe. No draft, no news, no accounting as to where the money is going. Nothing the people can find out about.

6. I have 3 teenage boys.

You better believe the National Guard is Red-Hot for each and every one of them.
They keep sending them letters, junk mail, bonuses, early signing incentives. They keep getting more lavish. The boys just glance and toss it in the trash.

"What the hell would I take their money for, just to get killed in Iraq?" They're not stupid.
