< Lot of opportunity to do "draft dodging" coming to you soon. Courtesy, honorable senators of USA. I am wondering how dual citizenships will help in this honorable endeavor.> Ouch, luckily I'm old enough that I won't have to give up my American citizenship............... yet. OTOH, I better get to the passport office before I travel anywhere outside the U.S. FWIW, I don't think there is a snowball's chance in hell of a draft using that {Iraq} reasoning. Too much invested in couches and T.V.s in the U.S. DAK

Hi, There was a guy on CNN the other night talking about the 'research' they've done on 'potential' draftees. He was very careful to say it was all for modelling purposes but did admit it could be used for the Draft. They have this huge relational database and they are categorizing by Doctor, Dentist, IT Engineer, etc. So all the unemployed ones in Silicon Valley will have a home after all. I wonder if they'll call here. Do they have a category: "Specializes in extended gardening leave"?
