Restarting of the draft ?

Peaches · 04-11-2004

Here are two reasons why I don't think the draft will be reinstated any time soon:

1) All branches are meeting their recruitment goals in record time as well as having high reinlistments. All they would have to do it lift a handful of the current restrictions and they could double the forces.
2) Historically, the draft has allowed those young men enrolled in college to get a waiver until graduation. Think of the racial demographics of those that will be left and the NAACP and Jesse Jackson will be screaming racial profiling.

I just don't see it happening, even based on #1 alone.
