Bring back the draft.

Most intelligent kids don't want to subject themselves to that level of basic training brain washing ... if theres a definition for brainwashing thats it or else it need not exist as a concept. By the way, I heard Chuck Norris' new book comes with crayons.




Quote from KINGOFSHORTS:

Too many chickenhawks wanting all kinds of war but unwilling to walk the walk. I saw anyone between the ages of 17-30 can be drafted at any moment.

Anyone between the ages of 17-19 must partake in a 2 year stint of obligatory millitary service (Bootcamp etc..) NO College deferments allowed either. Yo get out of HS and you serve your country for 2 years.

This will also put some backbone on todays youth who seem a bit aimless lately and man them up a bit. Want war no problem, we got soldiers left and right.

So, you are enlisting tomorrow? After all, walk the talk...

Wait a minute.
Rage is back together again? All the original members?


Not officially.

The concert her in denver was last minute. It was supposed to headlined by flobots (not a bad band at all), but 2 or 3 days earlier rage announced they were going to show up.

The venue was small 2-3k people at most, and tickets free. they are awesome live, directly after the concert everyone marched to the convention to protest the war. they were very insistent on things remaining peaceful, and they did.

it looks like the RNC wasnt quite as lucky though. it was something seeing 2 or 3 thousand kids get stoked about hating the war and to add to it rage played to pump them up even more. if only they could direct their enthusiasm to learning wtf they are talking about lol.

yes, all original members
 
They were always one of the more astute political bands. I thought they might grow out of it as they aged. Nevertheless, they can flat out rock with absolutely no fluff or compromise. Top five all time on my short list.

That they can! I could have been right under the stage, but I decided against it.

When rage came on, I was glad. I left the concert without ever being punched in the face, not even once.

:D
 
Funny comment. Inadvertant or not.

Going forward it's a fun idea to accuse anyone that posts on a message board of anti-seeeeeeemitry.

A: "I think the stock market is going down"

B: "ANTI-SEEEEEEMITE!!!!!!"

And so forth.
:D

wow.

do you also dislike jews?
 
Publically anyway, the military doesn 't want the draft. They want a volunteer force.

In the past, there was an argument the draft was good, because it exposed the Military, and the Military was exposed to, citizens who would not necessarily be aware of such.

I wonder, during the big draft years, how many folks were exposed to it, and made it a career?

Whatever. But look around you. You wouldn't have it without them.
