Pentagon spends $28 Million to get DRAFT READY BY JUNE 15, 2005!!
(Democratic Underground, November 15, 2003)
Oh, so there are "no plans" to re-instate the draft? No, there are just EXERCISES and $28 million extra to get the whole Selective Service ready and open for business by June 15, 2005!! . . . Read this official budget carefully [via above link] and you will see that Bush is gearing up the draft--there is no longer any doubt about it. Selective Service must report to Bush on March 31, 2005, that the system is ready for activation within 75 days. So on June 15, 2005, expect the announcement that the first draft lottery since Vietnam will be held for 20 year-olds.
[COMMENT: If you are in college or planning on attending in the near future, you had better become involved in the anti-draft movement NOW! If you wait until the draft begins again it might be too late for you ... next stop a tight-fitting body bag in Iraq.]
