Drafts aren't an issue(I don't agree with them however), since you can just say you hear demon voices and you want to kill yourself because you hate life. Mentally ill people are not what the military wants.

All you are doing is filling out a form, and the military keeps it on file. In a time of need, the military takes out a specific range of birth dates. Those who fall in the range get to be sent off on the draft..

There may not be a draft since the government is working on an exit plan.

The last bill that went to congress in 2004 was voted down 402-2, and this bill hasn't had any activity for about a year, so I wouldn't worry.

It'll never pass. The war isn't going all that well, but it's nowhere near the point where we need the draft back.

This bill get thrown into the legislative calander every year by two congressmen and every time its only those two congressmen who vote for it. They've stated on several occassions that they don't intend for the bill to ever pass but that its their protest against in the war in Iraq. They're trying to point out the hypocrisy in government about voting for a war but not voting for something that would get their own kids involved in said war.

So no, the draft is not coming and it never will unless we get in a war with Russia or some other country that could actually put up a decent fight against our military.

This bill won't get passed. If you scroll down and read "other bills with the same title", you'll see that every single one of those got rejected and chances are this one will be too.

Some anti-war congressman motions to vote on a bill which would re-instate the draft, because for some reason having a draft would "stop the US from going to war, evar!".

And, as always, it will be epicely voted down.

So, fear mongering aside, the chances of the Draft being reinstated in a time other than the outbreak of World War III is roughly equal to the odds of anyone on this board bagging Emma Watson.

I think national service is a good thing. However, I would rather have the option of working as a civilian for a volunteer organization like the red cross or peace corps, rather than having to be tied in to the military.

thats wat civilization was based off of until goverment was made. So it wasn't civilization yet yet tribes of people trying to survive. people who scream anarchy all the time basically want this to happen. No goverment means no rule. if you have something i NEED i will fight you to the death for it. Now i'm not agreeing for with war or anything. Killing people for resources was once a staple of survival taht led to the creation of society.

The Dem congress won't pass this, and we'll probably end up with a Dem president, who would veto it. After that, I'll be out of college and able to move to Canada.

I believe this bill has been continuously brought up for the last 10 years or so, so I'm branding this thread a "scare tactic."
