- Bush's war czar floats call for military draft
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The senior military officer tapped by President Bush to serve as his “war czar” declared in a radio interview last Friday that Washington should consider the reimposition of a military draft to relieve the extreme pressure that the ongoing wars and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan are inflicting on the US military.

  Deliciously cynical ad from "Embrace Diversity '08."

- Top Democrat: Bring back the draft
  Posted by Jon from CNN
  "New York Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel said Sunday he sees his idea as a way to deter politicians from launching wars. He believes a draft would bolster U.S. troop levels that are currently insufficient to cover potential future action in Iran, North Korea and Iraq."

- Does more war require a draft?
  Posted by Damianmann from Consortiumnews
  The Bush administration is forcing 3,500 Marines, who had served their country and had returned to private life, to go back into military service as a way to fill the ranks thinned by the long war in Iraq. Now, with neoconservatives salivating about waging wars against other Middle East adversaries, the question is whether some form of military draft is just around the corner for young Americans.

  Uncle Sam wants you. He needs you. He'll bribe you to sign up. He'll strong-arm you to re-enlist. And if that's not enough, he's got a plan to draft you.

  The gross unfairness of an all-volunteer Army. You can bet that if there was a draft, there would be a lot more protests - and more.
