I'd be pretty concerned if I was 18 now and got one of those cards. I'd be more freaked out though if the big switcheroo on Capital Hill hadn't gone down. No way the dems would now allow Bush to start up the draft. At least not for his little Iraq fantasy. There would have to be a real, and immediate, threat to the country and, in that case, it would be worthwhile.

It would suck to have to go fight in this war. No doubt! The only way the draft will start is if we add another battlefront or 2. Right now, the volunteer service is enough. Can you imagine being a National Guard. You would be like "I thought it was only 2 weeks a year" "I just wanted some college money"
