Wow, I can't believe how much some of you are getting worked up over this. Me personally, if there were a draft, I would go in a heartbeat, but they most likely wouldn't take me (besides the fact that I'm a girl). The last time the US has actually DECLARED war on another country was in 1941 when we were sorta "forced" into WWII by the Japanese. Vietnam, Korea, the "Gulf War", the "War on Terrorism"....not a single one of them was a war on another country. The US has only declared war 5 times in it's history. Every other battle we've been in has been just that a battle/operation...whatever you wanna call it besides a war. I truely don't think any of you that aren't envolved in the military somehow at this point have anything to worry about being drafted. Someone previously said something to the effect of Saddam and Bin Laden want just what they are getting...the American public with they're panties up in a bunch and worried. Go about everyday business like you typically would. It's a different world we live in now. Sure we do have to make some sort of adjustments, but surely becoming hermits and staying in school for an entire decade and only coming out of a university with a BA/S in Communications or Computer Sci is definitely a waste of time and money. Just relax and don't sweat this draft stuff.
