How would you feel if you knew, with almost 100% certainty, that within 6-8 months of graduating from college (or high school if you didn't go to college) you would be in Iraq, dodging suicide bombers?

1 - I am against drafts.

2 - If there was a draft your chances of being drafted would be small. Even if we could and wanted to double our force in Iraq (which isn't likely) the percentage of the draft eligable population that would be needed would be very small. Even in Vietnam with up to 5 times as many people in country and an army that might have been twice as big we didn't draft most draft age men. Last time being drafted was almost certain was WWII.
