Bush and neo-con advisers have pursued there dreams of a neo-empire without requesting the reinstatement of the draft. Neither have they called on their loyal base to step forward and join the military.Standing Tower Guard on a 6′ scaffold at the Federal Building in downtown Bellingham, Iraq Veteran Evan Knappenberger, 1st BDE, 4th Infantry Division, started a week-long vigil on June 1st to draw attention to the US military’s STOP-LOSS and INACTIVE RESERVE policies, which he submits are being used as a substitute for conscription in a political war.
What Bush and company have done is to use STOP-LOSS orders and recalls of INACTIVE RESERVES to keep the ranks filled. This careless policy is slowly destroying the U.S. military. Bush's callous, inhuman policies are exacting a terrible price from the Troops and their families.
