but..........enter uncle's "mini me" draft

speaking of third rate wars
and their" free choice"
            first world warriors 

heres a nice paranoid eruption
from uncle's 
   shadow world of mini me 

==================================



vide this from one of them 
tireless counter punchers ...



" The type of draft now being considered
both by some liberals 
and by White House military advisors
 and the Selective Service System
-most closely resembles
 what Israel has today...."
 

"The Israeli national service
 requires three years of service 
for all Jewish and Druze men
 and two years for all women
  between age 17 and 50 "

"Israel divides 
the type of service
 in three parts: 
military 
 security (police, fire, border, anti- terror units)
 and community service"
" All students may defer enlistment
 but must complete 
a month of training each year"


"  What makes the Israeli system relevant
 for the current discussion 
of a revived draft in the U.S.
 is its focus on homeland and border security
 and its universal, comprehensive nature 
in service of a national interest 
assumed to be at extreme risk
 from terrorism"

 

" Another feature of the Israeli system 
likely to be imitated in the U.S.
 is a special skills draft
 for health-care and other specialists
 who may be forced to serve
 even beyond the mandated period"

drafts
 towards an amerikan 21st century   draft....... 

" The Rangel plan:
 two years' service for all persons
 between 18 and 34
 with delays for schooling only until age 20
 Women are included



The Selective Service plan:

 
" 20 is a more appropriate 
and less controversial year 
to require  service"

" emphasis on the new needs of Homeland Security"

" The Border Patrol
 is having great difficulty recruiting 
the thousands of new guards 
mandated by Homeland Security"

 the Selective Service plan,:

"women would be included 
in the mass registration drive
to collect a vast array 
of personal and skills data
but would be exempt from combat service
 as at present"

"women  could choose non-combat military roles
 homeland security, or community service

" If not enough young people
 chose the military option during a war
 the current
        draft lottery 
would be re-activated 
for both men and women 
not specifically drafted 
for skills 

 The Rangel plan:

"  is not clear about whether women
 could be drafted for combat roles
 and  does not include
 the massive skills' data base
but  allows the President 
to choose the types
 of alternative service
 and the method of selection
 for those chosen 
to serve in each category" 

 here's a nice wrinkle going no where...

"The Washington Monthly  suggests 
compelling only those 
who would attend four-year colleges 
and universities
 to perform at least 12 months 
of some kind of national service
 before being allowed 
to pursue their education"
--------------------------------

such an anti elitest swipe  
      is quite
   the  sugar coating

if anything could

that would 
almost 


almost 

get my attention
