Whereas the US military is stretched dangerously thin in Iraq and Afghanistan, and is therefore
unable to wage pre-emptive war against other terrorist states like Iran, Syria, etc.; whereas our ex-allies in Europe are refusing to help us by contributing soldiers or funds; whereas record numbers of soldiers are now requesting the termination of their duty abroad; whereas the proposed new generation of tactical (battlefield)nuclear weapons could well end
up increasing the military's personnel replenishment needs; therefore we, the undersigned, support the reinstitution of the military draft, so that President
Bush can fulfill his foreign-policy goals. We also pledge, if applicable, to help our children reg-
ister for the Selective Service as soon as this becomes necessary. |
