Backdoor Draft Nabs 70 Year Old

“"Well who's to say that the editor of the ADA.org article is apolitical? He could have been putting spin on the article to make oral surgeons look patriotic. Your source is no better or worse than mine."

It's all about odds SH. What are the odds that the ADA is more unbiased than one of your sources? But that's pretty much a moote point anyhow because who's really truely neutral in these things anyhow? No one.

But we can make a side by side comparison of the two articals and see which one seems to be more rooted in facts. The artical you posted had far fewer quotes from the actual Dr. and even these were not negative quotes...

-"My first reaction was disbelief," Caulfield said. "It never occurred to me that they would call a 70-year-old."

-"I've been a soldier for 25 years," he said. "When your country asks, you do it."

-"I feel a lot more comfortable than when he was in Vietnam," she said. "This is a great way to finish his career."

-"Getting used to wearing boots and carrying a gun is a little unusual," he said.


-"Readjusting to the Army was a lot like riding a bicycle again after 24 years: a little rocky at first, but you make adjustments and it comes back to you," he said."”

It also does not have as many quotes from the Army leadership. So it would seem that it is lacking in actual facts. Even a skimming read through by even the most average person would show this guy has a chance to do something great for his country by his own will and choise and others (Moody and yourself) are using it as a weak attempt to politicize it for your own negative gains.

I would think aplauding this brave man's efforts would show much more support for him than trying to make him into a victim which he himself does not claim to be.”

“nope not busted, I knew I was joking and figured you did to vicsaw”

“...the reason the Army needs a 70 yr old to serve in Afghanistan: Afghanistan is only a training ground for the REAL conflict on Epsilon 98....Aliens visited the Earth in the age of Dinosaurs, and Terra Formed the planet (Dinosaurs are exstinct as a result), then they bio engineered Humans as biological weapons; we are being transported off world to fight the foes of our creators! (...Now where did I put my foil hat...?).”

“Your jokes suck.”

“vicsaw, I am hurt......not”

“Did you hear the Bengals were changing their name to the Possums?

They play dead at home and die on the road!

Now THAT'S a joke.”

“Nigal, I forgot the coaches name but he is slowly turning them around. They aren't ready for the playoffs yet but they have looked better than in the past.”

“As long as the Bagels can beat Baltimore, call 'em anything ya want.

“this is an NFL thread now? Talk about degeneration.”

“Hey, ravens and crows eat road kill !!

Poor Possums !!”

“I think the real joke was posted in the very first post on this thread. LOL! Kidding! I'm kidding! :)”

“Did someone say "Backdoor"?”

“thats what she said with a smile”

“76-year-old receives Guard recruiting letter

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF

Bobb Kotterman laughed when he opened the letter inviting him to become a "force against terrorism." The letter, posted in January, urged the retiree to re-enlist in the National Guard, to fight to protect the American way of life.

Kotterman is 76.

He's a cancer survivor with diabetes and a bad eye. "Too old to chase girls anymore," he said yesterday.

He was discharged from the National Guard in 1949. He was only in 18 months. His job: running the movie projector. "I ran films about people getting gonorrhea and syphilis, that kind of stuff," Kotterman said.

It's not a skill in high demand in Iraq.

“umm I am afraid to ask what a BACK DOOR DRAFT means....”

“maple, back door draft is navy term, you may hear it used in conjuction with the words "powdered soap". Yep, the military has its own language.”

“I get back door draft after eating Mexican food.”

“BTW birch, it does seem a bit unfair for you, an Army man to be speaking for the Navy. In these situations it’s always best to stay within our realms of knowledge. I think it best to hear it from an actual Navy man…






















Bacpac, you have the floor.”

“LOL Nigal!”

“Mapes: Backdoor draft?.. you are kidding right?.. since we have an all volunteer army.. the Feds are using the National Guard as a way to fulfil their quotas.. and since few folks envisioned actually GOING to the warfront when they signed up for the NG.. it's referred to as a backdoor draft..”

“ok everybody sing along

Feel Like I'm Fixing To Die Rag
Country Joe & the Fish
Come on all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
he's got himself in a terrible jam
way down yonder in Viet Nam so
put down your books and pick up a gun we're
gonna have a whole lotta fun

(CHORUS)
And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for
don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die

Come on generals, let's move fast
your big chance has come at last
now you can go out and get those reds
cos the only good commie is the one that's dead and
you know that peace can only be won when we've
blown 'em all to kingdom come

Come on wall street don't be slow
why man this war is a go-go
there's plenty good money to be made by
supplying the army with the tools of its trade
let's hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
they drop it on the Viet Cong

Come on mothers throughout the land
pack your boys off to Viet Nam
come on fathers don't hesitate
send your sons off before it's too late
and you can be the first ones on your block
to have your boy come home in a box”

“good one Stovie...”

“Stovie?”

“Backdoor draft
sounds like a porno movie.”
