laurieleemoo real quik answer how about sending all of our prisoners white collar and others to Iraq.Rangel idea is only to try to bring the war closer to home,he really does not want to reinstate the draft.More bodies is not necessarily the solution.The Iraqis need to come together in pursuit of a stable countey.I do have to run as the ex is giving me hades about a gofpher that is non existent.

i actually think i could fall in love with the mexicans if they decided to help us out here.

laurieleemoo I have to go my ex is giving me hades but let us keep in touch.We have always been amicable.

RadioB---Hey there! Long time no see. I must confess, I have not. I am sorry. Someday, though I swear to you...I will. So, what do you think about this draft idea. I was telling my friends here that I think we should offer the illegal mexicans a chance to fight in our military in return for citizenship. They think the idea is way out there I think...but I don't know. I'm not so sure.... I mean, I really think we could work out something with some of them and I think if we did---the american people would automatically be more accepting of them. I think we actually could kill two birds with one stone here.

laurieleemoo This is going back quite a few years I knew a German who had done his mandatory service and had the option to do a tour of the US military service which he did and then became a citizen.

laurieleemoo, I could only find one reference to illegal aliens in the military, someone was enlisting them using forged green cards and otehr data. The article (below) also talks about other cases of illegal immigrants being found. So I guess some of them do opt to go into the military. Theres' a lot of foreign nationals serving as well (almost 40,000), but those are the "legal" ones.

Decent article on the subject for ya, laurieleemoo!

"And quite a lot of Indians too, thgdriver".

shhhhhhhhhh, we don't want the Mexicans to remember how we paid the Indians back!!

[laurieleemoo]

pakaal---I recall the british not fighting properly also. I mean, you are not forgetting about the fact that the British burned alive a whole town of people by putting them in a church and setting it on fire. We were not fighting the kind of army back then that fought army to army. The British did actually kill civilians---so you can not just say the americans were cowards who shot from behind trees. What about the coward British who chose to fight all the women and children in america back then. Think God the British have evolved also, but there was a time they too would have actually been considered terrorists. I do not call a terrorist war exactly even handed when it comes to killing defenseless civilians.
