That is some interesting information. I still don't think there will be a draft, simply due to how grossly unpopular it would be. It would more or less assure a Democratic victory in the 2008 election and I just don't see Republicans making that move.

That being said, I guess we can't really rule out the possibility that something VERY big is taking place behind closed doors. You never know what kind of war might be about to break loose, etc. that could fuel the need for a draft.

That being said, I suppose I have reason to be slightly concerned about the idea of a "non-combat skills" draft.

Because of heart surgery I had as a child, I cannot be drafted into a combat role. I would also be passed over in a general draft. However, because of my national registered IQ scores (I've said it once and I'll say it again, having a high IQ does nothing but suck) I would be called up in the first round of a non-combat draft to be trained in a specialized field such as intelligence analysis, etc.

So, yeah. Could be interesting.
