Senior Democrat Calls for Reinstatemment of Draft by DesertRat662006-11-20 08:03:58
  It'd get more young people to vote that's for sure by esbita 2006-11-20 08:18:33
The idea is one thing; I wonder about the implementation though. I don't see how putting large amounts of people through basic training and keeping them only a couple of years would help the military that much.

Maybe an alternative to the college exemption would be to make sure that if you study a "useful" field, you get placed in an area where you would use it/gain experience? I'm sure the armed forces could use all the engineers, nurses, and linguists it could get.
