My personal opinion is that the sheer number of reservists will see to it that the draft will never be a necessity... My brother was in Goldsboro, NC a couple weeks ago and there are still PLENTY of non-reserves was still pretty high (CA18, aren't you still on this side of the water) and I was in Fayetteville, NC last month and there was still plenty of life around Fort Bragg and Pope AFB, so I think the number of REGULAR inlisted people in addition to the number of reserves will more than handle the bullshit over there... I do, however, take happiness that they will NOT be drafting my black ass in the unlikely event the draft comes back around. See, back in 97 when I was finishing high school, I actually applied for the army, but was declined because I'd had asthma when I was younger, even though I'd since outgrown it. We applied for an exception from the surgeon genral, who also shot me down. Fast forward 6 1/2 years now, after finding a better understanding of politics and looking at the shit going down, I am glad I WAS declined, because I so don't agree with the current war effort...
