A long time ago (November) I posted on this board that if Iraq is getting worse the US will re-instate the draft.

I was laughed out of this board. However I kept a close eye on it (Most of my friends went to Vietnam drafted) and I have boys in Draft Age
In the past few days I noticed an increase in Draft talks and found this in a paper
http://www.vancouver.indymedia.org/n.../01/105146.php
I remember the Vietnam Draft very vividly boys!! I would strongly suggest to get all your ducks in order if youre between 18 and 28. Because youre going bye bye.
I don't remember until what age they can draft and the requirements used to be so maybe some of you Vets on here can help me out
First they draft previous Military
Than boys ages 18 to 28
Than everybody else??
I don't remember but looking to see if I can find some sort of government paper what kind of idea our now government has.
Edit
Oh yea and for those who think they gonna run to Canada,,, uhm, NOPE
Dodging the draft will be more difficult than those from the Vietnam era remember. College and Canada will not be options. In December 2001, Canada and the US signed a "Smart Border Declaration," which could be used to keep would-be draft dodgers in. Signed by Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs, John Manley, and US Homeland Security Director, Gov. Tom Ridge, the declaration involves a 30-point plan which implements, among other things, a "pre-clearance agreement" of people entering and departing each country. Reforms aimed at making the draft more equitable along gender and class lines also eliminates higher education as a shelter. Underclassmen would only be able to postpone service until the end of their cur-rent semester. Seniors would have until the end of the academic year.

You don't fight for freedom by destroying it.
