I never ceases to amaze me how a thread can go from one thing into a spamfest about sex. Then again, considering the overwhelming number of teenage-to-young adult males here...

Yeah, I'm up for dodging the draft. Hopefully, anyone stupid enough to push for a draft would get assassinated (not by me, though, before all you right wing extremists try to report me to someone, like the NKVD, no oops wait wrong regime). That, I think, would be a fitting punishment for encouraging slavery.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
I think you all are missing the point. We don't NEED a draft, nore does the military WANT one. All stops of retirements and expired enlistments have been lifted for everything but a few rates. The stop was just common procedure during a time of conflict, ie we don't want the platoon seargent retireing int he middle of the fight.
I bet you there is a memo every year inquiring as to the feasability of the draft. Bieng a government program it recieves yearly review just like the rest of them.
Guess what? I hear they had a review on the feasibility of lauching a nuclear strike this year. EVERYONE HEAD TO THE HILLS!!!
The artile is just grabbing at straws.

Perhaps someone has already said this, but the Pentagon stated a few months ago if a conflict started in NK while we were still in Iraq, the draft would be reinstated.

Obviously, but we are not in conflict with NK, and dispite all the talking heads have not been in danger of a full scale conventional conflict in decades.
Thats like saying "if we have a war with China we are going to have a draft," or "If I put my hand on a hot stove it will get burned."
DUH!!!

I would hardly call a 1/5700 chance of bieng killed cannon fodder.
Of course if we drafted a million people you chances would be 1/8500. So a guess I should support the draft as it increases my chances of survival.

No, the criticism is that they chickened out of a war they publically supported and that today they want to tell others to go fight. Honest draft dodging doesn't hurt you, unless you're a Repug (then you have to have dishonestly dodged). It didn't hurt Clinton. It didn't hurt Quayle. Didn't even hurt Dubya. So many Americans disagreed with the war that avoid the war isn't a problem. It's being a liar or an hypocrite that hurts you.

Indymedia isn't inherently false. You just need additional sources to consider it serious, as they don't do any fact checking.

A draft in an election year?
Besides, we're a long way away from needing a draft. Yes, recruitment is down, but the armed forces still have quite a few volunteers.

Reserve and Guard retention and recruitment is down also. Quite a bit too, from what I'm led to believe.

But they had quite a few extra that were being turned away- about 50,000/year for the army alone, I believe.
Now they're around the break even point. Further erosion could occur depending on what happens overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Ha. I bet there were a few idealists who genuinly disagreed with things in their heart and could not make themselves go to Vietnam. However, the majority were hippie cowards who wouldn't have fought in ANY war and used the anti-Vietnam ideology as a shield. Wouldn't lift a finger if Russian tanks were rolling down Pennsylvania Ave, that is if they could be bothered to stop looting for five minutes to notice.

No, it is just that most people are have grow up since their hippie days and come to their sences, not need to remind them of what they now know.
Good Simpsons on that, was on two days ago.
