The Draft

On NPR this morning, they had a story about how the military is spread too thin, and how even retaining reservists won't be enough. They speculated at length about "where oh where" will the manpower come from, but never actually suggested the draft. They finished the story with a general saying "yes we're spread too thin, but we're fine, thank you. we'll just pull some troops out of korea."

Then our local news station had a segment about "Will there be a draft", and ended with senator (I think) declaring that there was no need for a draft.

I'm telling you. They're starting the PR campaign to get us used to the idea. It's coming.
