Murtha Is Officially Off His Meds
Going against what every single military expert has said, Rep. John Murtha wants to bring back the draft.If you don't want to click the link and upset your stomach, here are some key quotes:
The military doesn't want anyone who doesn't want to be there. It's as simple as that.
The only reason they would want a draft that I can think of is that it would make the public opinion of the war even worse than it already is.
That explains everything. Do things that will weaken our fighting force, set us up for surrender, and then pretend that you're trying to help.
Like I said... lovely.
- "I vote against the volunteer army.”
- “We ought to not have a select few who volunteer. I think everybody ought to be obligated to serve.”
- “I think [the draft is] absolutely needed.”
