Here they come for you.
Congress has been trying to push a draft resolution through. It's been in committee since 2/3/03. You think the committees will make their recomendations before or after the election? My guess is sooner rather than later since people are dying everyday, not extending their service contracts, and the reserves' numbers are starting to dwindle. Fun times ahead.
But hey, I'm an optimist so let's look at why this is good news: Colleges and universities around the country will be bursting at the seams with new students (even if parents give up their retirement to get their kids there); the war economy may give every working woman left a job making bullets and Kevlar vests; the news will have something to cover rather than this pesky election; these Congress people who are supporting the bill don't have to worry about their kids going; and I'm too old to be drafted and my kids are too young.
