Bush going "back-door"

In just his latest screwing of the U.S. soldiers Bush and Dick "f-yourself" Cheney have decided to use a back door draft. They are calling up at around 6,000 inactive reserves. For those of you who don't know, when you sign up for the military no matter what you say you sign up for an 8 year hitch. The first 4 years you are required to be active. After that period you can either stay active or "retire" which gives you two choices 1. active reserves or 2. inactive reserves. Active reserves are the weekend warriors that are already being overly used by the Administration. The second group are inactive reserves. These are soldiers who have been discharged and don't want to be in the military anymore. If Bush wants to reinstate the draft then reinstate the draft don't go back door and draft those that have already fulfilled their promised service.

I am and always have been in favor of a mandatory 2 years of service for every man and woman by the time they are 25. No loopholes no nothing. EVERYONE serves! Of course the repubs would never go for this because it would mean that the rich kids would have to fight next to the poor black kids who have no choice but to go to war.
