I doubt it. Those of us in the military are very proud of being an all volunteer army. I wouldn't want someone who would not want to be there. |

I sure hope not... I have been active duty for 8 years and have crossed paths with numerous people who signed up at their own free will who DIDN'T want to be there... they had shitty attitudes... and produced horrible work. I would HATE to see what people who get forced to serve would act like. |

No, the US won't start drafting any time soon. Don't worry about it. |

I'm sorry, but as the wife of a soldier who's served for 18 years so far, they aren't very good reasons. Quite selfish in fact. You want that life to be protected, but you don't want to do anything to ensure it yourself. I was young too and had dreams of a big grand wedding complete with a honeymoon. However, the Army had other ideas. After this long, I've yet to have that honeymoon, but I have seen some beautiful countries and traveled many states. The military can't tear you apart, only the people involved in the marriage can do that. There's some very successful happy military marriages. I have one of them. Being married to my soldier is one of the greatest joys in my life and something that no words can describe the pride it holds. Many people in the military also have families. The military itself is a family. Every day I have to wonder what life holds for my family and hubby. But, that's in God's hands. I know my hubby has a job to do and I completely support it. What "will or might happen" doesn't really matter. What we have NOW, does matter. So, maybe instead of sleeping under that blanket of freedom, you should do something to ensure it can go on and not relying on others to provide it for you. |

Well to avoid a draft you could always leave country.
Frankly I don't think a draft will be put into place. I don't want to join in the war or approve of it.. but I'm very proud of the many many men and women who volunteered to go so I don't have to. Selfish when you look at it but they're better suited and in a better mindset. Thank you, troops. |

No, in fact ,hell no. What we have now works. If we have people in the military that DONT want to be there, the military doesn't function as efficiently. |

No, the Army, and I'm sure the other branches as well, pride themselves on being a volunteer Army. Meaning everyone who is in, made the choice to join. They also have more than enough people in the Reserves. Additionally when you sign up you agree to an 8 year commitment, you do not have to spend 8 years in active duty though. You just have to spend the remainder of your time with the understanding that they can call you up and tell you you are back in the Army. Here is an example. I was in the Army for three years, I now have a five year time period that they can bring me back in. I hope that makes sense.
So, stop worrying. |

I highly doubt that the military will start the draft again. They already have a lot of soldiers. I should know Ive been a military brat all my life. |

No.
Do not worry. There is no desire on the part of the military, congress or the American public to re-institute the draft.
Stop whining. Get married. Live happily ever after.
And let real men and women guarantee your safety.
You are welcome. |

Dude, stop being a worry-wart. The Department of Defense (DOD) is NOT requesting a draft. Congress will resist authorizing a draft until it is absolutely, positively 100% necessary. There are personnel shortages throughout the ranks, but DOD is using stop-move, stop-loss, and retiree recall policies to manage it. (I don't agree with these policies by the way, and it is only a band-aid to fix a bleeding wound.)
Besides it isn't up to DOD. Congress has to write, vote, and pass a bill to authorize a draft. Then the President has to sign that bill into law. Yes, some congressmen have introduced bills on the draft in recent years, but they never get out of committee, or if they do, they never get through either house by full vote. (Just like when Sen. Kennedy introduces his 'annual' bill to increase the minimum wage like he's been doing for the last 10 years...it went nowhere until now, when the GOP can take credit for it.)
So the 3 "signs" that an impending draft is on the way are:
1) Department of Defense requests it,
2) Congress votes and passes legislation IN BOTH HOUSES authorizing a draft, and
3) President signs the bill into law, enacting a draft.
Stop being a pu$$y and save your worries for real things, like being a good husband and soon to be father. |

I hope not, but no there is no way to avoid being drafted if it comes down to it. After all you are an American and it is your civil duty to protect our country! Stop being so scared and get a grip, unless you sign up for the military your not going to war! |

Any threat of "the Draft" is purely politics at work. People who are opposed to the war in Iraq are the ones pushing the draft legislation. It is a scare tactic to try and get more people opposed to the war.
The truth is that the US military does not want the draft. The Bush administration does not want a draft. The US military is based on high quality people. They don't want the bottom of the barrel the draft often drags up. The generals want volunteers who care about defending their country.
There will be no draft. |

I suggest that you volunteer immediately and get it over and done with.
It might cure you of the most severe case of Capitalisation I have seen recently. |

NO!!!! The US Military does not want a draft, anyway, it would have to be a declaration of war to start a draft
and that is not going to happen any time soon. |

Why would they need a draft? They'll have all those lovely volunteers...you know, the ones who will agree to military service instead of prison for not registering with the selective service as the law requires?
And, FYI, it's a question, not a book title, so you Don't Need To Capitalize Every Word....... |

No there will not be a draft.I dont care about what all these (conspiracy) minded people say.Even if they have a hundred websites they say prove a draft will happen.
First of all its a matter of technology.The equipment the services have today is so high tech that a draftee would spend a quarter to almost half of their enlistment just being trained.If you consider that in most countries that have conscription,range from two to three years of service.
And thats for the jobs the military needs.The jobs that take less time to train we are not as desperate for people. |

I wouldn't sweat being drafted. There hasn't beeen a draft in some time now, and it's not very likely it's going to start up again anytime soon. |

With rights come responsibilities. Your grandparents lived through WWII and many of their generation were separated by the war for two or three years. The husband came home and life went on.
Many women were War Brides. My mother was one.
My father was in the European Theatre from 1943 until 1946. He came home and he and my mother went back to college and started a family after they graduated.
The kids growing up today, the ones whose parent were only barely touched by Viet Nam and who only heard about WWII from grandparents are quite spoiled by previous generations experiences.
Our country is at war today. It is not the same type as WWII or Korea or Vietnam, but we are at war for our survival as a Western free society.
If you are called to serve, you should. Your future family and its freedom are at stake.
I hope and pray this war against Islamofacism doesn't get that far or that bad. But it is a very real possibility. |

I highly doubt it. There is no plan for the draft to be implimented anytime soon. Besides, if your relationship can't sustain military service that protects the very woman you love than your relationship is too fragile. |
