The United States is bringing back the draft. Can I suggest that people in the United States contact John Kerry and ask whether this is something he supports or something he would attempt to do away with if he became President (presuming it's not too late already and, considering it's Bush it may well be). Still, this should be fun for all those warbloggers who sit at home and fumigate about how the US is fighting The War Against Terror, now they get to do their part!
Considering that we here of ever-increasing levels of obesity in both Europe and the US, it'll be interesting to see whether the US Administration would have to shift the goalposts on what makes someone to be fit to serve to have enough people to fight Dubya's dirty little wars.
Meanwhile I'm wondering whether I can get Government funding for a company which marries US citizens to people in other countries to avoid the draft. Greencards'r'us? [Original report via Die Puny Humans]
