Again, good link with an interesting perspective. Still, I think it's going to take a major catastrophe to see a draft before 2008.

I must admit that the idea of the draft, while somewhat of an inconvenience, is something to which I am not entirely opposed.

Many countries, Spain is one I can name off the top of my head, require high school graduates to engage in 9 months of community service or military service. Many other developed nations require compulsory military service of their young citizens for a few months or a year. This is, in essence, an entire generation of military personnel who are good for at least one tour of duty, more if they opt to remain in the military. I personally think it would be great for the evermore retarded kids pouring out of schools these days.

I'm not even really worried about the draft, to be honest. Military service would only make my resume look even better and I know I wouldn't end up in a combat role. On top of that, I just finished up my degree so I'd enter service as an officer.
