Draft Legislation Introduced

Legislation has been introduced implementing military conscription, which would begin as early as Spring 2005—only one year from now.
The pentagon has quietly begun a public campaign to fill all 10,350 draft board positions and 11,070 appeals board slots nationwide.. Though this is an unpopular election year topic, military experts and influential members of congress are suggesting that if Rumsfeld's prediction of a "long, hard slog" in Iraq and Afghanistan [and a permanent state of war on "terrorism"] proves accurate, the U.S. may have no choice but to draft.
And don't think you're exempt ladies. They want you, too. But, just so you know, in advance... It's legal to burn your draft card.
