I also agree that this isn't really something to worry
about. Many of the bills proposing reinstating the
draft were made by liberal members of Congress that
are against the war to remind their pro-war colleagues
how it feels to wonder if your child will be sent to
war. It's the mentality that it's easy to send
strangers to war but it's a harder decision when your
children could be called up. I will admit that if our
foreign involvement doesn't become more successful
there might not be any other choice, but none of the
proposed bills really lay out a working model so
there's nothing to worry about for now.

~Kathryn, who plans on moving to Canada before there's
any need for the draft
