[geeks] Special skills draft?

[Michael Horton]

>Who said there was going to be any kind of draft?

John Kerry has been pushing a draft (Democrat Senator)
Charles Rangel has been puchsing a draft (Democrat Congressman)

these and other democrats are using the threat of a general draft to
create FUD.
(i guess they watched SCO and thought the process looked good!)

a special skills draft would start with people who have a present
relationship with the government.
     military reservists
     national guard units
     state government health workers (the bio-terrist people are
registered with the federal government)
     grant receipients
     contractors
     etc.

(of course, volunteers would be accepted at some level.)

for instance, you may be the world's greatest programmer but served a
nuclear sub operator in the us navy.
you would be re-upped as a nuclear sub operator not as a programmer.

(of course, if you are doing research under a federal grant, your
exposure is doubled.  that is, you could be drafted as a nuclear sub
operator or a whiz-bang programmer.)

a special skills draft has always been available in modern times.
(check your military/reserve contract.)

Now I get to start trouble.  Who said there was going to be any kind of
draft? _______________________________________________
