Draft

Today as we were talking about the civil war in my history class our teacher mentioned that there is a bill in Congress right now that will reinstate the military draft by spring 2005. This draft would require everyone including women between the age of 18 and 26 to serve for 2 years. And college and Canada this time around are not a way to escape the draft. The reason why it is kept quiet is because of the upcoming election. Go figure, that's typical politics. Now the draft is most likely not going to happen because it would reduce the quality of the military, the training is too long and it would simply cost too much but just the thought that it might happen scares me. It really scares me.
