there is actually 1 congressman(i think from newjersey but not sure) who wanted to reinstate the draft. i'm not sure if he ever got around to actually drafting the bill or not. his reason was not "because there are too many blacks in the military" it was because he was against the war in iraq and he figured that if politician's sons were going to be forced to serve, then congress and the president would be less likely to start wars.

now, as for duke's question of "why the draft" no one likes the idea of the draft because it puts inexperienced soldiers on the battlefield and that risks lives. but if we were at war and did not have enough soldiers to fight, then a draft would be necessary.
it would be waaay too embarassing to have to go tell china "dude, i know you want to take over the us, but, duke and his friends don't want to fight... can we postpone this war till the next generation comes of age? i don't think they will be such spineless pieces of shit"

when it comes to defending this country, the draft and anything else that helps us win should be and will be instated.

personally, i have never served in the military, but i am quite proud of my father's 20 years in the airforce and if the draft were necessary again to defend the usa, i would not wait for my number to be called, i would volunteer and serve proudly if they would have me.
