Back Door Draft
U.S. Rep. DeGette Urges Army Probe at Fort Carson
Young people are warned: The military draft isn't a myth, this is a reality. A "back door draft" is already here as soldiers are given a terrible choice: re-enlist or go back to the front lines. "We were offered about $10,000 (as a bonus) to re-enlist, but a lot of us said no, we didn't want to," said Wes Swanson, a specialist who was wounded during his first tour in Iraq [who recently returned to Fort Carson, Colorado]. "So they said if you don't re-enlist, we're going to PCS (transfer) you to another unit that's going to Iraq, and you're going to end up going to Iraq for another year whether you re-enlist or not."
