WASHINGTON – Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans today reacted to John McCain’s statement that he doesn’t disagree that we would need a military draft to do everything he wants. At a town hall in Las Cruces, NM, a woman said she could not see doing everything McCain wanted, and would not have the troops under his plan to follow Osama bin Laden to the “gates of hell” without a draft. In response, McCain said, “I don’t disagree with anything you said.” The video of that can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRMFwXGBMfI

Jon Soltz, Iraq War Veteran and Chairman of VoteVets.org said, “At least Senator McCain is being honest. A vote for him is a vote for the draft. Period. Unless Senator McCain radically changes his worldview, there would be a draft to implement his plans.”

Soltz added, “When you take into account his indefinite military commitment to Iraq, his desire to send more troops to Afghanistan, record lows in recruiting and retention, and possibly more wars he is looking to get into, like “Bomb Bomb Bomb” Iran, his numbers don’t add up without a draft. Whether America likes it or not isn’t relevant – a draft is the only way to do everything Senator McCain wants to do. I give him points for being honest and upfront, though, that we’re going to need a draft if he is elected.”

2. Watch Gramps Walk Back On This One

He'll stammer and say "that isn't what I meant"...and the corporate media will say "OK...we didn't think you did...we'll gloss it over for you, boss".

Watching Andrew Bacevich, a self-proclaimed Conservative on Bill Moyer's Journal, is a mustsee...he explains how our military is on the verge of a financial and emotional break-down. And this man knows about the emotional...he lost a son in Iraq.

[pleah]

3. K&R Mr. Obama needs to put out a new ad immediately,

McWar will take our sons and daughters to continue the wars we are already in and the ones he wants to start.

6. i haven't wanted to age so badly since I was a teenager

I think I have 4 years before I'm no longer eligible for any kind of draft.
