Yes. This lie needs to be addressed.

Fear of being drafted to fight in Iraq - "by Bush" - is something that could mobilize the college kids in important numbers for Kerry.

Absolutely! In fact the 1980 election of Reagan was probably one of the few times that 90% of the college kids voted against the 90% liberal professors. Jimmy Carter talked about using the draft in his 1980 State of the Union address.

President Jimmy Carter reinstated the Selective Service registration requirement in the summer of 1980. (http://www.sss.gov


We do not need a draft. According to the military leaders that I saw meeting on cspan2 channel: recruiters are more than meeting their quotas and have a waiting list, while re-enlistments are also beyond their current goals.
