Having spouted off like you did, I tend to believe you do not know much of anything in the way of politics my young friend!
The *Democrats* were the ones pushing for the draft! NOT the Republicans or Bush! Grow up!!!

He wont reinstate a draft. Instead, they will start requiring all 18-20 to preform in some sort of militaristic duty for a minimum of two years. They say either a desk job, or actual soldiering. (Is that a word?)

Actually....the only person that was talking about mandatory public service was Kerry, I believe....

And, as far as far as "exploiting" the reserves.....ummm, isn't that what the "Reserves" are? They are there as a reserve force to help the active duty military....

While it is not certain whether Bush will institute a traditional draft, at this point it is hard to see how he cannot do so. 9 of our 10 active divisions have already served in Iraq and/or in Afghanistan. He is bringing troops home from other countries in order to have more available to go to Iraq and there is no end in sight. Because he did not bring enough nations into the original "alliance" the country was left in chaos after mission accomplished. The fact that we could not hold the country under control made the insurgents job very easy to recruit. This war was a major issue in 2004 and will be so again in 2008 because it will still be going on.

Excuse me have you been living in a cave? First and foremost, everyone get this through your skull! Bush *can not* impose a draft all by himself. He has to have the senate backing for that! Do you think your senator would vote *for* this? Not if he wants to keep his/her political career going they won't!

Well, boys and girls, we do already have this "back door" draft wherein soldiers whose tours are over, their commitments to the military fullfilled, are being called back for deployment without any say in the matter. If that's not a draft, I dunno what is. The government is already being sued by some of these "backdoor draftees". Bush is the commander in chief, so I don't know how he pulled this off. Did Congress give him the go-ahead? I just don't know.......

Exactly how is this a non-response? You made a *blanket* statement about the "backdoor" draft (which by the way is a stop-gap measure) being a defacto draft. And I told you that you didn't have a clue as to the difference between the 2. Which I don't believe you do.

As I understand it, the so-called 'Back Door Draft' is a part of the conditions agreed to upon enlisting in the armed services. Basically people signed on the dotted line agreeing to this as a contingency to be used by the military when needed, and now some are complaining that they are having to keep their end of the bargain.

It is being called a back door draft as a way of insinuating that it is somehow illegal or being imposed with no consent, with the intent of using it as a political tool against Bush instead of being honest about why it is occuring.

their commitments to the military fullfilled

Somehow i think your definition of fulfilled is different than the governments. Obviously they havent fulfilled all commitments.

The problem arises from the fact that they did not read their enlistment contracts. I'm not really sure of what is is now (maybe Grim could help.) But when you sign on the dotted line you give Uncle Sam the controlling strings to your life for "6" years. You may be only doing 2-4 as active but he still owns your soul for 2-4 *more* years. What it is that they figure my 2 yrs of active service is done and I should be able to get out and go home. WRONG! Uncle Sam decides, not them.

I guess if you can't compose a coherent argument, you must resort to name calling. Wow, something new from the right.
Bush has a majority in both houses. He will have no choice but to impose a draft. He's already painted himself into a corner by overextending the reserves. 9 of 10 of our active divisions have already been to Iraq or Afghanistan or both. They've been there for extended tours. Stop gap has been in place since the beginning of the war. Those who want to leave the military cannot and for those in the active service, they have their tours extended in Iraq until they agree to reenlist. The definition of conscription according to Webster's is "One who is compulsorily enlisted in the armed service. Sounds pretty apt to me. So the question is not when will Bush begin the draft. The question should be when will the situation allow the draft to stop. Continuing on the current failed policies, no end in sight.
What is the difference in not being allowed to leave the military and being drafted?
So crawl out from under your rock and open your eyes to what is happening.
