Now, I can't imagine a draft being activated, but I will never put anything past politicians.

A draft?, impossible, not once did the president mention any "draft" and we already have enough reserves and volunteers.

You need to read a little closer.  The OP never said that a draft was mentioned in the article, he is speculating on whether a draft will be instated because they need more troops for Iraq, plus maintaining troops at other posts.

As for reserves, we most certainly do not have enough.  That is why National Guard personnel have been pulling multiple tours right along with full time personnel.  That was the whole point of the article is that we do not have enough troops, and the president wants ideas on how to bolster those numbers.

The Pentagon is against a draft, thus the chances of it happening are slim to none.

I was almost talked into joining the Army after I graduated by some slick fucking recruiter. If I did, I'd be dead right now..

I'm pretty sure they can drag your ass back from Canada if you do that now.

I'd say it's more likely that they'll lower entry requirements, that way you still get people who are dedicated.
