I am a liberal, I hate George W. Bush, but seriously people you need to stop worrying about the draft. Also Kerry lost, get over it, Bush didnt cheat. So please both sides liberals dont be afraid of the draft, its not gonna happen, and conservitives you are not going to get attacked by terrorists, so please can everyone stop being so hateful and scared.

The draft is already being used. Where were you earlier this year when former members of the military were forced back in?

Rule number 1: Don't join the military to begin with.

Rule number 2: If you get drafted show up with your boyfriend. :D

Rule Number 3: If all else fails, break as many of the things on the Skippy List until they're forced to kick you out.

I wonder if they would overturn the "Don't ask don't tell" if a draft was necessary. :p

I am assuming you are refering to the call up of members of the Individual Ready Reserves.

The reserves were legally called up. (http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/guardandreserve/a/reservecallup.htm) They signed a contract that states FOR ALL I must serve a total of eight (8) years. Any part of that service not served on active duty must be served in a Reserve Component unless I am sooner discharged.

Unless you can show that the reservists were forced to sign their enlistment contract, they were not forced into anything (except to comply with a contract they'd already agreed to and benifited from).
