This article smells bogus to me - too many misspellings,
wrong usages &c. for it to be the work of a well informed
writer.As a side note, even granting its veracity I have to disagree
with the statement that draft dodging would be more difficult
than it was in the 60s. The military is very anti-drug these
days and won't accept a volunteer who doesn't pass a drug
screen. It would seem obvious that pretty much everybody
being summoned for a draft physical will have urine assaying
high in all sorts of thing.Then there's "Don't ask, don't tell". I'm guessing a lot of
people will be telling, even if it means telling lies. It's not a
sure thing that Canada would try to seal its border either and
it's even less likely that they could.I do think a draft attempt of some sort will be unavoidable if
the U.S. persists in engaging in military adventures like Iraq
but there are a lot of practical difficulties with putting one in
place, That's a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
