So What? If you dont want to get drafted, mess them up and join first. HA-HA!! There is no draft and no one can afford one, as the wage are so high. If this is all you got to worry about, YOU GOT NOTHIN TO WORRY ABOUT!

Medical Draft in National Emergency Still a Possibility? - The Selective Service--the agency that would carry out any military draft--has been updating its contingency plans for drafting doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers in the event of a crisis that overwhelms military medical corps, according to a confidential report.

And the government routinely updates plans for ex-presidents' funerals as well.

OMG, did you realize that 18 year old young men actually have to register with the Selective Service System? Oh wait, that's actually been going on for 20 years or so.

Anything is possible. The possibility of a draft is very remote. The all-volunteer military is doing a superb job.

Let me guess - you're a Kerry fan, and you think Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld have a top secret plan to re-start the draft in January.
