John Bolton hints at military draft

[cindy25]

Bolton was on Fox News over the weekend, I forget where, and hinted at a return of the draft so people would have sense of unity, and of course he used the usual Israeli excuse; even made sure to mention that men and women are drafted in Israel. Trial balloon? or just a nut case? he was considered of State sec.


combine that with mentions of a ground war to take over North Korea. and that estimates are almost always understated. and the possible additional war in Iran.

The unity opinion is that Bolton is a nutcase, IMO.

[XNavyNuke]

Unity of who? Three quarters of those under the age of 25 are 4F.

Bolton may just be the dumbest piece of $#@! shill for Israel in the MSM. He never misses an opportunity to praise Israel.

[kpitcher]

I heard a speech on the benefits of a one year military support draft.

"A Military draft is logical, Moral, and even Libertarian"

[shakey1]

... he's a fairly dangerous man.

Gotta say, I love this! lol!

Unfortunately, You cannot give Reputation to the same post twice.

It works a little differently if you say that at age 18 all Americans must report for mandatory training to become part of the Constitutional militia. The last thing we needs is a whole generation of people who are afraid of guns and do not know how to use them.

The "Constitutional" militia were locals who were to protect their community, especially from bad government.

I am having the libertarian crab salad with swiss cheese on french bread , the real $#@! , no imitation crab meat . Once I have my anarchy all these fatties will be in militia .

He's a disgusting piece of crap.

Yeah , they are pretty much already getting most of those that would be of any use to them .

I'm aware of that. Just flipping the context and pointing out what will happen if we allow the anti-gun indoctrination to continue.

Wow, for someone who claims to be the most brilliant man on the forums, I'm a little surprised you missed that bit of irony.

It might work in a country/society with a preexisting sense of unity/focus/purpose such as Israel (homeland for the jews). But to try to push it ontop of a very much divided society as a reason to force unity? Yeah, that sounds like an idea bound to fail. It will only cause more resentment and division. This guy is stupid, unless causing an actual upheaval/revolution is what his real intent is.

Super Chess .

[euphemia]

The thing is, liberty does not happen in a vacuum. It always has a context. And consequences. We have allowed gunaphobia to rule. How's that working for us? Our elected reps pass laws prohibiting concealed carry in churches, so where are the targets? Churches. There was another shooting yesterday outside of a church in Fresno, California. Nobody is mentioning that.

They should learn how to use guns. But now they've made girls eligible for the draft. Considering 33% of women in the military have been raped or suffered attempted rape and 84% have been sexually assaulted or harassed I think I'd say the very last thing we need is a draft.

Then again, if after 30 years a quiet cabal of libertarians got their hands on the weapons of war, while liberals and conservatives are killing each other to no end, there wouldn't be a whole lot of federal opposition left against states' rights.

I'm not suggesting a draft. Many of my classmates had to register and some had draft numbers. Don't want to go down that path. However, we can't ignore what is happening today. Gunaphobia rules the day.

Trial balloon? or just a nut case?

Both.

And that seems to be what euphemia is in favor of.

[enhanced_deficit]

Allow me to hint that JB's speeches sound a bit crazy.. war hungry crazy all the time.

Never claimed to be the most brilliant- and was just detailing your remark, as most do not realize what the "militia" initially meant in the 2nd Amendment.

The Dems want National servitude, even Hillary admitted that in her book; and the Republican establishment want perpetual war. Israel is always the excuse, but would Israel be so aggressive towards the Palestinians if Israel had a volunteer army. The Dems want an excuse for free college, and to weaken white males. other than Ron/Rand and maybe Kucinich there are few who really want to cut the military.

John Bolton, Wimp



A Vietnam hawk who remained stateside.

[anaconda]

That mustache robs him of all credibility.

[Raginfridus]

"I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy," Bolton wrote of his decision in the 25th reunion book. "I considered the war in Vietnam already lost."

What a pussy. He has no qualm suggesting others die for lost causes.

Personally while wading in $#@! in the jungle kind of sucks it is no worse than the desert where you can stand in one place , do nothing and still see the sweat come through your leather boots .
