Only young men will be drafted

Yes, in case you missed the last 4000+ years of written history, by and large men, particularly young men fight wars... and as to your blanket statments about sucking off the tit of taxpayers, classifying all women as mooches and all senior sas mooches is quite an inane statement to make.

Frankly I am proud to live in a nation where it is still the males duty to protect his family and country. I fail to see why you think this is an issue... you really want to send old people and women to the battlefront?

I said you're dreaming as relates to the current situation. Obviously if we are slaughtered by the thousands or hundreds of thousands the calculus changes.

The fact that the draft board is gearing up indicates the gub is thinking ahead and positioning itself to do a rapid call up AFTER a horrendous attack.

You'd be surprised at the number of gramps and grannies serving in the mideast...
