Do you think we will see the draft come back?

I think if thing keep going on the way they are, tre is a good chance. With all the natural disasters and places we are fighting, I do believe that there could come a time when it is needed. That is a sad thought.

I don't think it will I know from my husband who works with personnel he says that they haven't even been deploying all the researves that they have and it is strickly by volunteer if someone on the researve unit wants to depoly at all. If they were going to start the draft they would be forcing the orders on them. Really there are so many people in the military that I don't see any need to do so and once bush is out of office I believe their will not be as many military men and woman being deployed continueing a war that is no longer necessary.

At some point I think that it may come back but am hoping there will not be a need for this to happen. But with Bush still president, it seems more likely to happen since he keeps sending people out to the Middle East. I really hope that it does not come back and that something will be done by the Democrats to prevent this from happening.

I dont think there will be. We have alot of soldiers here still in the states. Yes they keep sending more off to Iraq, and other areas overseas. But we have the national guard, reserves, and several Armed forces still here in the states. I haven't heard if there has been a decrease in new enlistments. I would think so with the war and people being afraid to go. Good question.

Anything is possible, I prefer to see the men and women who want to join our military and fight for our country, opposed to those that are forced and don't want to be there. :)

Only if governments want to control our population growth.

i don't think they will reinstate a draft. First, because there are so many reservists active and inactive and if anything they will be the ones to go before anyone else. I think we are in a different time and a draft won't even be considered. It's funny because when my brother graduated from high school he had to fill out paperwork on that. It's so stupid the Government shouldn't force people to do anything. Can u imagine if they did draft? How many people would flee..not because they are scared but because they simply don't want to go! Sending people overseas is pointless..I don't think any of us have a real clue of why the US is still in IRAQ and other countries....

I'm always having scary thoughts of this happening. It's a never ending battle with the war in Iraq. With our dear solgers dying right on the front line--The President will look to have a draft starting again. I hope this isn't the case---Lets hope and pray for peace and end all this war once and for all.

In our lifetimes? Yes, most likely. And no..I don't buy the whole, "It could never happen becase when we last had it people hated it!"..but so much has already changed and happened in this beloved country of ours that we said, we promised ourselves or were promised that would never happen. But it did. Yeah, we have alot of inactive potential soldiers at home right now. But does it matter? If the government says suddenly, "We need more troops" or declares an emmergency which they think will exceed our army's limits, then nobody'll even argue with them..or if they do it'll be a small and short argument. And then..voila, game over. Draft reinstated. Heck, they used the same excuse for the Real ID act of 2005..and countless other bills which would NEVER have been passed unless people were told that it was undeniably necessary. Even if in truth it wasn't.

I am NOT an American and look at it from the real world. The USA should stop interfering with each and everybody and start first taking care of its own citizen and don't send them to die somewhere else for a cause they simply don't even understand. One CANNOT win a religious war even if you would draft everybody in the USA. Is that so difficult to understand???

National need is certainly must go
