Because it works! TPTB pass the game plan down from generation to generation. That same plan has been working very well for thousands of years. Why would they ever change it? They just pull the same crap on different generations. I mean, how many people today treat Hitler's Germany, Stalin's USSR and Mussolini's Italy like it's "ancient history" when it really wasn't long ago
at all? Humans aren't any different and haven't wised up and thus continue to fall for the same stupid tricks over and over.
I have no doubt whatsoever that a draft will try to be pushed through. The way things are going, WWIII is in the cards and a draft MUST be instituted to fight such a global war. Obama makes a perfect spokesman for bringing in more blacks and hispanics to the armed services. They must change the perception of war from a "white man's war", which is mostly what Iraq and Afghanistan are viewed as. Remember, some kind of mandatory service announcement coming on September 12. Im sure the timing is just a coincidence
Not really. Another 9/11 type incident would push all that through just like it did with the Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, Warner Defense Act, etc. How much debate, persuasion, and talking was necessary after 9/11? NONE. Whenever they need egregious laws like that, or a draft in this case, there's got to be some sort of catalyst that prevents any discussion. Consider how hard it's proving to get this health care nonsense passed. Good luck with a draft buddy! The only way is another episode that shuts off people's brains.
