We have had Selective Service Registration for what, twenty years? Twenty five? I know I would have had to register when I turned 18 if I had not already enlisted by then...and that was a good many years ago. These volunteer "draft boards" have existed the whole time, this is nothing new. I agree with the person below that geting on your local board is the only way anything can be done about who if anyone gets drafted (unless of course you want to run for congress), but even with the current administration and everything they are trying to do, the chances of legislation bring back the draft are minimal. Perhaps if the Republicans had a very strong margin in the congress, and if something else of the magnitude of 9/11 happened, but right now it is not needed and would never pass.

and for the record (even though it'll start a fight, I am certain), I am very strongly in favor of some form of compulsory (but of course paid) national service, not exclusively military by any means, as a way of helping young people help themselves out of our many crappy places...
