No Draft!!!!
An excellent piece from the NY Post:
THERE is not going to be a military draft. No matter who is elected. No draft. None. Period.
Clear enough?
The shameless lies told for political advantage, the immoral scare tactics behind the warnings that President Bush has a "secret plan" to bring back the draft, have reached a new low point in recent American politics.
Sen. John Kerry knows there isn't going to be a draft.
Sen. John Edwards, who doesn't know much else, knows there isn't going to be a draft.
The Democratic National Committee knows there isn't going to be a draft.
And they're all warning us that a draft is on the way — unless, of course, young people vote for the Democratic ticket.
Apart from assuming that all young Americans are cowards with no sense of patriotism, the naked dishonesty of the "draft scare" tactic is stunning even to someone who's watched politicians misbehave for decades.
There isn't going to be a draft.
Why?
Read the rest. You won't be sorry.

Maybe you should read this, and the fact that young people don't want to be drafted has nothing to do with lack of patriotism. They just don't want to die for a racist cause, or out of vanity. Or maybe I should join the national guard, and never show up?
Vision of the draft
I had a vision years ago while visiting my hometown in Virginia of men lined up around the block waiting to sign up at the local "Join The Army" office. It gave me the willies (this was in '95/'96) as I knew there was a big war coming and felt the draft would be reinstated.
Ever since the Iraq war began last year, I've been waiting for the 'news' and was quite alarmed to hear all the 'talk' on TV in recent weeks about it. I guess that's why they pulled so many troops out of S. Korea to help in Iraq. Low on replacement troops.
It's an awful thought, but if more so-called-allies don't chip in to beef up the troop levels and more stuff happens.... like here at home, even ... then we'll surely have a draft.
