Oh well...

I highly doubt the US will ever run out of reserves... a draft is only a number what is the chances of actually going into combat. slim to none. In my opinion.

I'd rather see the draft become unnecessary. A little bit higher standard of living for our soldiers will do that.

If I get drafted, it is the Navy for me. I want to sit off the coast and bomb the crap out of whoever!

our society would never tolerate a draft. just watch, if the bill actually passes, and they start drafting kids from yale, stanford, harvard, cornell, mit, duke...etc, their families will have a huge stink against the government.
