Senators imply that draft is a certainty

[The Man]

*shoots self*

Im actually really curious if the draft comes in, will women be apart of it?

I believe they will, although to my knowledge, women are still excluded from combat situations. I could be wrong on all counts.

Tell you what. When the country does *need* me, and I don't mean to clean up a mess that our retarded elected officials made in the middle east before I was born and before I was old enough to vote, then I'll consider fighting for it. Until then, if they even try to draft me, I'll be out of this country in less than a day. I'll even send Bush a signed note that reads "See you in hell."

My sentiments precisely. I never supported this war, and it sure as hasn't done anything to make America safer, so there's no way I'm going to fight in it.

With this kind of idealogy, and you and SomethingBig being a sample of the eligible drafte population, I wonder what the ratio is of draft dodges or the amount of people leaving the US because of the draft would be

I suspect the US would lose a sizable amount of its population if the draft went into effect. Unfortunately, there will undoubtedly be a large number of people who want to evade the draft but don't have the economic means to do so, which means that poverty will only become an increasing problem in America in the future. Ironically, that might end up forcing more discussion about the issue, and thereby enable a better solution than what's being done right now (basically, nothing).
