For goodness sakes. they are proposing an upgrade to the draft system:

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

unfortunately they are talking about reinstating the draft although the legislation does not call for the draft itself

$28 million has been added to the 2004 Selective Service System (SSS) budget to prepare for a military draft that could start as early as June 15, 2005.

its not what the legislation does but its purpose is preparation for the draft later
also the sss.gov site isnt gonna tell you that they are going to reinstate the draft until they are sure...what else do politicians and political affiliates do besides deny stuff?
