"Vets fighting for jobs on home front"?

Your assumptions are incorrect. The net gain of jobs has been in the technology sector.

You could ask them about how perceptions of women changed (how they viewed themselves as well as how others came to view them) as they scrambled to fill the domestic job openings left by the men who went off to fight overseas.\n\nAlso, did s/he feel compelled to take a "patriotic" job with the defense industry or something that benefited the nation's war effort?  If s/he didn't, why not?  If s/he did, what did the person end up doing?  Did they feel they were helping out their country?\n\nDid they ever worry what might happen if their homeland got invaded (I'm assuming you're asking North Americans or UK people)?  Would they have been ready to take up whatever arms they had and try to repel the invasion, even if there wasn't much hope?\n\nAfter the war started, how long did they think it would take to end?\n\nWas rationing effective or did too many people just gyp the system in one way or another (bribery, hoarding, etc.)?\n\nWhat sacrifices did they make so that they could help out the soldiers?\n\nDid they buy war/liberty bonds?  Did they worry about the massive federal deficits?\n\nHope this helps out.

This is his second attempt to do so. The first one, with the war in the early stages and his being a Democrat in a Republican controlled congress, went nowhere.\nI feel there are two ways of looking at it. First, you could take him at face value when he says that the poor and uneducated are the ones doing all the fighting and that it is a form of discrimination to make those kids do most of the fighting. (This was an argument also used during Vietnam.)\nThe second possibility is that he is trying to force attention on the fact that the war isnt going so well, and by asking for a draft he can create a critical mass of anti-war sentiment and perhaps bring down the Republicans. Which way you believe probably depends on your politics.

Call your local VFW hall.  Nothing but veterans in that group and I am sure they would love to help.\n\nCoach

Did you see that last posting about Military Personnel should refrain from making posts?  WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!  Just about everybody on the face of this earth is wondering what the HAY we are still over there for.  I like the way the other guy tried to give an explanation which still does not make sense to me.  To answer your question, I (Army Spouse) find no justification in this "war"!!!  And neither does my husband, but again he is doing his job!!  Would hate to lose good ol' Tricare for not doing his job!! (Tricare is military health insurance.)  I'm not anti-army just anti-war.  There's a difference.

Why was he willing to help get more soldiers in the guard. I would like to say that all soldiers are doing a job. They signed up for it. If he does not like the way they conduct business don't reenlist. I think he needs to get out and shut his mouth up. We has military family are proud of our soldiers. We support them no matter what. It is something we have no say where the go and what they do.

Well I'm a veteran..... I lived it.... and you're ignorant to the real issues if you think what he said is just liberal news. As a single man, the pay isnt all that bad however when you have a family and you have to move around every other year, which means your wife cant have a real career, that's when money gets tight.\n\nCounselorDan

for once I'm in agreeance with you.  I'm unemployed and i served 12 years.  i must have put a 100 applications in.  i couldn't even get a job answering phone calls!!!  i guess i can try the local burger stand.  i even have a valid secret clearance, and can't get a job.  i guess my years of experience is no match for a college graduate.  oh, well!!  I'm still proud of most of my service.  i wasn't proud of Iraq though.

It was a way of making a point, Though this certain person has brought up the subject before, it is a way to deter Republicans from going to war by making it a possibility for those who come from all sorts of backgrounds be it rich or poor have to go fight as well. . Meaning Senators and Congressman's children to have to go no matter what. Well that's what i got from this news article. Read it and make your own opinion :)

They are talking  if the draft is ever brought back, which as a Retired Senior Enlisted, I really doubt, it will include a section where schooling does not exempt anyone from the draft after they receive the degree they are presently enrolled in.  In other words, you can only stay in college for so many years and you would still serve your time.  \nAs to disagreeing, you can file as a conscientious objector, however read about those in IRAQ who have refused to return or go at all.  They have been charged or will be charged and will face a Military Courts Martial which will ruin their life.  For your information and that of other doubters, a Military Courts Martial carries the same weight as a Federal Court or State Court Conviction.  You lose all rights and have a very hard time finding a decent job anywhere.  Stop and think, is it really worth ruining your life.  All wars are horrid and take many lives, however history has shown that most of them have been necessary to prevent a tyranny from taking over.  What about Hitler in World War II?  What would have happened had no one stopped him?  What language do you think you would be speaking today?\nMaybe you should read the lyrics to a song called: An Open Letter to My Teenage Son. \nIf the website does not work, simply go to any search engine: Type in Lyrics>An Open Letter To My Teenage Son and it will bring up the site for you.  I read it again the other night and it still holds the same meaning as when the father recorded it.\nTo the Soldier who posted on here in reply to your question:\n\nTake Care my Friend, there are those of us out there who support you and what you are doing.  It is not an easy task when the one sided media posts the information they want the public to know.\nTake Care and We Salute You Folks OVER THERE 100%.\n\nA Retired Chief Petty Officer

One point would be that all veterans put their lives on the line when they signed on the line, not just those that were sent to war. I feel that Veterans' Day has turned into War Veterans' day and, while I am very thankful for the sacrifice the war veterans have made, let's not forget that all the veterans were subject to the same possibility of being sent to war. Let's honor them all.

You are not alone... Many people today are having to re-enter the job force. Many people list volunteer experience or even hobbies that may relate to the position they are going for.  Also I would list the employment experience you had when you were working.  Then add a brief entry on why you were away from the work force for those 20 years.  Many companies are looking for people willing to actually work for that paycheck as opposed to those who just show up and put in their time.\n\n Have you considered possibly working for yourself from home?  I am currently working to replace my job from home.

Yeah they died. And on the homefront there were homefront commandos, Rosie the Riveter, war bonds, gas rationing, tobacco rationing, meat rationing, rubber rationing, metal rationing, grease recycling, $1-a-yr CEO salaries, victory gardens, and a draft.\n\nToday the armchair warriors say "WELL I PUT A STICKER ON MY SUV! WHAT MORE CAN A MAN DO?"

The Best EXCUSE ever:::\n\ni got a ribbon on my car: I support the troops\n\nGood for you. Morons\n\nI, personally have one. BUT---I did my part 6 yrs USN. So, I can put it on my car. I asked a 20 yr old man. Why if it means so much to him to "support the troops" why not help them in some way. Send them a thank you note. Go, by the VFW, Vet. Hospital etc etc. and tell them thank you.\n\nHis reply: "I do not have time for all that. I have a Job and school"\n\nI said" OK, fine. Next time you see a Vet wearing a ball Cap of a Unit or War tell him thanks"\n\nHe said,"As long as it did not say, Iraq or Vietnam on it. He might think about it."\n\nPeople are just unpatriotic and find any excuse not to fight the fight. Whether it is politically correct or not. These are the same types that failed to sign up in ALL American Wars.\n\nWe have had "war dodgers" since the American Revolution. It is just a fact of Life. A few give the freedom thru sacrifice and Death. While all bear it fruits.\n\nThanks

They are asking if you are willing to fight for your country.\n\nIf you are not, then you are welcome to relocate.
