There is no draft.

I can't believe you'd let something like the truth enter a thread with a link to the DU.

I wonder if he is still in the Reserves and they have called him back up? That would make more sense but if that is the case nobody really has the right to be complaining because that's always a possibility!

Post a copy of the induction orders. I have a copy and so should this guy. Postings from DU? Not even a news article?

No, the link provided is a link to the DU's message board. Somebody complaining their uncle got drafted.

If the uncle was drafted lets see the induction orders. My computer crashes if I browse to DU, too much B.S. for the processor to handle.

Don’t know your motivation nhboy to copy and past such bleeding anti military drivel but other then to say that ALL military service is voluntary (No Draft to the uninformed) and when they do sign up they are well aware that they are obligated for up to eight years after separating if called upon.

Got a feeling the uncle couldn't stand his family. This was a good excuse to split the scene.



Well, back to ignore, nhboy has nothing to contribute.
