apparently few read the article
THEY ARE NOT REINSTATING OR ACTIVATING A DRAFT.
For goodness sakes. they are proposing an upgrade to the draft system:
"to provide for the common defense by requiring that all young persons [age 18--26] in the United States, INCLUDING WOMEN, perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes."
College and Canada will not be options. In December 2001, Canada and the U.S. signed a "smart border declaration," which could be used to keep would-be draft dodgers in. "
its not even a big deal
