All of you 18+ poker pros who arent college, you better get back to school unless you want to get shipped of to Iran!

What do you guys/gals think the chances are that George Bush starts another draft for a war in Iran or to supplement the infantry in Iraq?

Will there be another draft?

Also, if you're in college, you can get education deferment so you don't have to enter the draft. - True/False

Thoughts?

1. 0%
2. No
3. Since there is no draft, there is no answer

1. 0%

2. No.

3. If a draft was implemented(which it won't be), there would be no Vietnam-like education deferments. You'd be allowed to finish your current semester. That's it.

The military, politicans, and citizens of America don't want a draft.
Stop peddling your nonsense.

LOOK AT HOW AT DESPERATE THE LIBERALS HAVE BECOME SINCE NEWS OF THE ELECTION HAS SPREAD.

2 CATACLYSMIC ELECTIONS IN 3 MONTHS..MORE REALITY THAN ANY LEFT WING NUT JOB CAN REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO HANDLE.

SCARE THE OLD PEOPLE(SS REFORM LIES)
SCARE THE YOUNG PEOPLE(CRAP LIKE THIS)

Thats really the only option left to you when reality deals you such a cold deck.

The draft that's been floating around in Congress states that it doesnt matter if you or male or female, or if you are in school.

But, no there wont be a draft. I think if you wouldnt be willing to fight for your country, you should leave anyway.

No, because in case more soldiers to fight wars are needed. The pro-war conservatives patriotic parents are sending their 18 years old to fight for their country. They'll be proud of their sons dying in such a noble cause like the Iraq war.

You have redefined the art of incoherency. Incidentally, a draft will never happen. Want to know who will be most against it? People in the military now. As one of those people, I can tell you the last thing we want is a bunch of unmotivated people who dont really want to be there.

1. 99%

2. Very, very, very likely.

3. debatable, but as long as Republican donors have kids in college, those deferalls will probably stay for now (hell, Dick Cheney got five deferments himself). Of course, if that doesn't work, or you can't get into college because the costs have gone through the roof, you can always do what Rush Limbaugh did and get a medical waiver due to a "pilonidal cyst" (which, in layman's terms, is known as "a boil on the ass"). Or, if you're really lucky, you can call your daddy the Congressman and have him skip you over the waiting list so you can get into the Texas Air National Guard. Then, you can go AWOL, do a whole lot of cocaine, get busted, do some community service, have your daddy's friends clean the record up, have your daddy's friends get you into the oil business, fail miserably, have your daddy's friends get you a baseball team, have your daddy's friends set you up to run for governor, have your daddy's friends set you up to run for president, have your brother and your campaign co-chair rig the Florida vote for you, have your daddy's friends stop the vote-count and illegally install you into the oval office, preside over the worst intelligence failure in American history (3000 dead), lie the nation into a war of international aggression (1500 American soldiers dead, tens of thousands of Iraqis dead), and then you too can be hailed by Republicans as God's Chosen Leader For The Free World. Then you can start drafting other people's kids to go fight and die.

Adding on to vulture's point, training a soldier takes money so from a purely economic standpoint, it makes no sense to spend the thousands of dollars to train someone who doesn't want to do the job he's doing. Just like a business wouldn't hire someone and waste money training someone who didn't want to work there. Get it?
