*Cue music* Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitsss that time again ladies and gentlemen! h2vista.net rant coming to you live, the today's guest we have is kornman00.
You can stop the music now.
This thread is rated GTFO. Those with uncontrollable ADD\ADHD (for real) or lack of brain must :gtfo:. I just spent the last two hours writing this, and trying to get some points I wanted off my chest. Why here? Because some things I really don't wish to discuss with my co-workers for soon obvious reasons. I tried to proof read each section as I wrote them, but I'm only human, and humans make fucking mistakes; go sue someone\thing. Enjoy. If not, thats fine by me, go make a sandwich to make yourself feel better.
What would any of you do? What would you do if the US gov't allowed the draft (or more correctly called, conscription (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_the_United_States)) back into affect? Seriously now, think about, don't just reply saying you would move to Canada and live the rest of your life eating bacon and cursing in French while smoking that joint. Would you resist? How?
Luckily, currently a draft isn't that foreseeable. But at what costs? Have you ever stopped and thought about what allows the draft to not exist? I mean, we "needed" it once, how do we continue without it? Loopholes.
Let me name a few of them for you. Stop-loss (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop-loss_policy). SL can actually refer to a few different things, one being the description on the wikipedia article linked. Another is when a service member is SL'd from PCSing (permanent change of station) due to his unit deploying. Now, the SM doesn't have to be one of those deploying, he could be part of a Rear-Detachment filling the duties that the unit was expected to perform in the community they are stationed in. This was the case for many of the people in my unit not PCSing, though others could (read: are) still PCS but because of further clauses which I really don't want to go into more depth because its just more crap to type.
Military Service Obligation. When you enlist (in the Army anyway, I'm not too sure about all the other military services) your contract has X amount of years of when your actually active, performing your duties. There after those X amount of years are up, there is this additional X amount of years further that is a pretty much a 'buffer' for Uncle Sam to call you back for another episode of Touched by an Uncle. You are not serving the military during this time, you are essentially "on call", a half-reservist if you will. This buffer loophole HAS been used and abused on thousands of service members to get called back to the front lines.
I'm enlisted in the Active Army for 4 years, I'm then "on-call" for an additional 4 years. You can be your sweat ass that I will fight coming back in those latter 4 years if I do get called back.
Get out of jail free pass. Yes, it is still possible for people to pass go, collect hundreds of checks of $200 even though they should be serving time. But I guess the term "serving" has been redefined. If a fucking sexual predator spreads his evil on the population, I want that fucker locked up and AWAY from the population. I know some of you asshats think that it would be better for these idiots to serve their time in the military. Yeah, fuck you too pal.
Now you got that fucker BACK in action with the AUTHORIZATION to be locked and loaded. Now, they wouldn't (well, they SHOULDN'T BE at least) let the more "serious" sexual offenders use the alternative of military service, but those are not the only ones breaking the law. And guess what? When these cockmongrels go to a duty station, these records of mishap aren't following them. Their COs aren't seeing that Pvt. Snuffy bad touched 3 women back in Idaho before coming in. Or that he was a major trafficker of multiple life-threatening illegal drugs. Or that he was recorded in multiple gang related activity. OOOOOH how I could go ON about these MOTHER FUCKING GANG BANGER WANA-FUCKING-BEs coming in. I don't need your dipshitting ass watching my back fucktard, go back home and get shot the fuck up there.
What makes things worse is how soft initial training has got on recruits. Shit don't fucking phase them anymore. I barely see any fucking change in alot of these so called fucking "soldiers". AHHHHHH, fuck, I'll end that digression about that, moving on.
Bottom line is, the same shit that goes on in your civilian lives, happens just as much in the Army. Date rape, drugs, murder, you name it. It doesn't help anyone allowing these abominations of humanity into the service to continue their rape of civilization and your so blessed "freedom".
Back to the draft. Fuck. You. Get the hell out, and take your backdoor loopholes with you. Shit heads would have you believe that not "serving" your country is unpatriotic. Well fuck, if America was SERIOUSLY under fucking attack, I don't think many real Americans would put up a chance to do SOMETHING to protect themselves, family, friends and land. But for fuck sake, what do you expect from them when war was brought DOWN on THEM by their own fucking "leader"? Yeah, fuck you. When your born, your not pressed with a contract saying that you agree to defend your "borders" which somehow magically get STRETCHED THOUSANDS of miles away across land and sea. But a green card holder does.
Don't let the Blindness in America continue. Do SOMETHING. Serve your country by voting for the right president to fill a seat that has been empty since 2000. Research. Learn. Think. And for christ sakes, turn off the fucking lights when your not using them :gonk:
Yes. There is more.

This guy. Ignore the fact that he "quit" for now please, thx. This is the guy who looked at the jobs currently used in the Army and decided which ones needed to be consolidated into existing MOSes or taken over by civilians. He is the reason why the Finance Corps will one day not exist. He is the reason for so much drama and chaos plaguing the communities (the ones over here anyway) by this fucking unorganized, and expedited transformation occurring over here. What should be taking place over the course of five years, is happening in a year. By this time next year my unit will have downsized. Both in people and in recognition (Battalion -> Company). Not only that, but we are expected to deploy one last time, as a fucking whole, leaving the communities we provide support (the little we can even now anyway) with nothing. By the time our soldiers in our current detachment comes back from "fighting" "terrorism" they will be on their way to either PCS or ETS (get out, peace, cya, "sucks to be you sucker!").
Our finance unit was recently changed to be the last one to deactivate here in Germany (for those of you uninformed, we are DOWNsizing in Germany). I really can't give out the time table for when thats suppose to be because one, I doubt it will even happen by then and two I do suppose its a risk to security in some fashion, but then again, so would seem alot of this post is too. There won't be any (soldier wise anyway) finance support if we are to deploy as a whole (which we will, due to our reduced recognition). I just fucking hope for ours and everyone else's sake that Iran isn't finally put into the big picture.
And guess what exactly will be happening to finance soldiers as our job slowly be picked away? My people will basically turn into detail bitches and end up performing duties expected of combat personal (we are combat support).
Sure, we're all soldiers and should be expected to be able to do such tasks, but take a look around (I realize pretty much all of you on this forum can't do so, so just bare with me). Most people in my MOS are old combat vets (infantry, scouts, MPs, etc), some "broke" to the point where they couldn't perform their old duties (usually its because of those old duties as to why they're "broke"). Another thing is, there is ALOT of things sliding by in the Army. Criminals being allowed in is one of them, but it doesn't stop there. People that can't perform the full duties of a soldier are allowed to poster as one. Its these people who are sent down range and get people killed or are killed. Some times, its not their fault, its the people not wanting to take the time and paper work to get them to where they need to really be.
The problem, I think anyway, is already made aware. Its our inability to evolve and adapt and solve ourselves. We hold ourselves back.
