If it does occur i bet it's called something else that sounds a lot better

Those on welfare would probably go first. ( Maybe they'd have to sign a clause before recieving their payments stating they could be enlisted/drafted )

Lets hope it doesn't get that far and there's a surge in national pride and more people volunteer.

Do you know how many riots there would be if the US Government chose to only send the welfare people to war?

I think there would be riots regardless of who was drafted, but yeah you're right. It wouldn't surprise me if this happened though.

I'd be in the streets cheering them along to boot camp.

I hope that they don't start drafting... I am still old enough to be drafted.

I think there going to play it smart. Whatever happens there probably going to do it after the election. When they know the people have no power over them for another 4 years...

i wonder if just dropping all inmates who are serving life in jail in iraq would do anygood. We could stick all the drug dealers and gangsters there to do the work

Interesting question. i don't know if that would do more harm than good.. i can see the potential upsides. I wouldn't be sure of their reliability though.
