The draft is a policy nightmare for despots like the GW Bush or anyone who wants carte blanche with our troops.
Do I live in fear of going to prison? No

Not only that but I dont fear the draft either, I served my 4 years starting back in '92. As far as i know im untouchable by the draft. However, I have thought many times about joining the Sea Bees, as I am a Union Pipefitter.

But if things get that bad, what prison you think they will put you in?

My guess is a federal pen, where you will then join the already in place federal prison work force makeing uniforms, boots, helmets, body armor, and other gear like canteens, for the armed forces.

So either way, go to war or work in a factory, but the way things are, with the GOV able to make a terrorist out of anyone protesting there policies, in the end you wont have a choice but to work for the war machine.

Granted that senario is way extreme, but, not impossible.

And if things do get that bad, then policy nightmare or not, I'm not sure we will be able to get the Bush family out of office. After all at that point anyone willing to fight them is already in a federal prison, or off shooting at other men in war.
