Here Comes the Draft!
The draft is coming! Just like Sen. Kerry has been saying! But it won't be under the Bush administration. Fact is that if Kerry is elected, people will be leaving the military in droves and the draft will HAVE to be reinstitued. As it is now, with President Bush as commander in chief, the military is quite content, thank you, to keep things status quo. Check out the following article. The military loves Bush! However, they're not so crazy about Kerry! As is almost always the case, what the Left accuses others of doing, they are, or will be (in this case) guilty of doing themselves. What a pitiful lot the dems have become!

Poll: GI Families Favor Bush over Kerry

When asked whom they would trust as commander in chief, people in military service and their families chose President Bush over Sen. John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, by almost a 3-to-1 margin.
Bush, who served in the Texas Air National Guard, was more trusted by 69 percent while 24 percent said they trusted Kerry more, according to the National Annenberg Election Survey released Friday.
Among all Americans, Bush has a narrower advantage on trust to be commander in chief, 50-41.
The military sample was far more likely to be Republican than Democratic, which could help explain the more favorable view of the president. Four in 10, 43 percent, of the military sample said they were Republicans, while 19 percent said Democrats and 27 percent independents.
Those in the military and their families have a more favorable view of Bush than Americans generally, and they take a more optimistic view about Iraq, the economy and the nation's direction.
A majority in the military sample, 64 percent, said the country is on the right track. Among Americans generally, 55 percent said the country is headed in the wrong direction.
The National Annenberg Election Survey found that seven in 10, 69 percent, had a favorable view of Bush. Only three in 10, 29 percent, had a favorable view of Kerry.
The Annenberg poll, which does not report head-to-head preferences, did not ask the military respondents whom they support for president. The report cited a 1948 law that prohibits polling members of the military about their voting intent.
The poll of 655 in the active military and their families was taken Sept. 22-Oct. 5 and has a margin of error plus or minus 2 percentage points."
