The Defense Department began working yesterday with a private marketing firm to create a database of high school students ages 16 to 18 and all college students to help the military identify potential recruits in a time of dwindling enlistment in some branches.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
School systems that fail to provide that information risk losing federal funds, although individual parents or students can withhold information that would be transferred to the military by their districts.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Under the new system, additional data will be collected from commercial data brokers, state drivers’ license records and other sources, including information already held by the military.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
The Pentagon’s statements added that anyone can “opt out” of the system by providing detailed personal information that will be kept in a separate “suppression file.” That file will be matched with the full database regularly to ensure that those who do not wish to be contacted are not, according to the Pentagon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
trust us. we’re from the government.<\/p>\n
truly a gem, since we were promised a quick and clean war and… no draft, right? not even considering.<\/p>\n
if you’ll allow me a moment to comment on that comment – i think it’s the pentagon’s job to plan for wars. i’d much rather have the pentagon planning wars the conducting wars. i’d like to think that aside from the whiz-bang technology gadgets we buy with pentagon money that somewhere in that budget is enough money to cook up, consider and come up with a strategy for every concievable war situation… including the draft.<\/p>\n
the new draft won’t be called a draft. it will precisely target (with military precision) vulnerable, under-employed individuals that are not contributing enough to the domestic economy, and bludgeon them with sales pitches about the glory of military service.<\/p>\n
