Oh boy! Here we go again. I don't think we should have a Draft! Because I have a friend who just went to basic traning for the army. I don't think I'd be able to handle him getting drafted into the war. Plus wouldn't that be interferring with our rights in one way or another. *sighs* The world has gone Mad.  |

I haven't heard this anywhere. The selective serviceact is a law and it is constitutional. There are many ways out, full time student, concientious objector etc. that no one's human rights are violated. Then again there's always the "run to Canada" option.  |

I haven't heard anything about this. I suppose it is always an option. I know my husband is down to two soldiers in his platoon (he won't be coming home on that two week leave because of it). There is a severe shortage of man power because people are being sent home on assignments and there are no replacements. Still, I can only see their being a draft if there were an all out war in Korea.  |

This has been a rumor since right after 9/11. It won't happen, if it does at all, until after the '04 election cycle.  |

Yeah if Bush gets in again that's what he'll do, but it would be political suicide to do it now. Well all those pro-war folks will have a chance to put their support into action. And those too old can always knit socks.  |

well, i figure, if they reinstate the draft, it'll be after the 04 election like ya'll said, it would be stupid to do so now, but i don't approve of it, especially, since i don't expect it to be over anytime soon, and right now a bunch of my friends are around the ages of 14-18, and that's not good, not to mention I'M nearing that age, and that's bad if he adds women to the draft, but i don't think forced soldiers would do as good as people who volunteered,  |

If they do reinstitute the draft, I'll be getting my notice early on. Seems to me, though, if Bush activates the draft it'd be tantamount to admitting that Iraq is a bigger job than he wanted it to be. |

Actually I like Isreal's system. 2 year mandatory military service for everyone over age 18. It might give a lot of people a new perspective on life. |
