I highly doubt they have done the draft lottery already. And if I remember correctly it wasn't the month you were born in, you were assigned a number and then they lottery out to see what number is chosen. Then all the people with that number get a gun and go shoot stuff.

Nowadays military is not measured in sheer numbers. There will never be another war of attrition like WWI or WWII. The likelihood that a massive military force would be needed is low. With high altitude bombing and precision guided bombs and missiles, you can probably just bomb an enemy into submission(with exception of terrorist groups). The focus of our military now is speed and stealth. The ability to be anywhere in the world at anytime for any reason and have nobody know. Yes our standing military number is down, but what about our active special forces? Their numbers increase every year because they are the future of warfare.

man I can't wait to get a laser though, and maybe a hoverboard finally, that'd be tight.
