Don't you hate it when things are appropriately named but it takes forever to hit you that they really are aptly named.For example, "military intelligence" or "compassionate conservative." Well, let's add a new one to this group......(yes, I know this is an oxymoron)...."Selective Service" - yes, it has been around for years and on its face it means that ALL eligible will sign up for potential drafting, when we really know that the service truly is selective when it comes to drafting. If you have money or influence and use it, well, look at just how selective the "Selective Service" can really be.Here is link to a piece involving Col D. Hackworth....it's about how he things the draft is headed our way....http://dailykos.com/story/2004/12/8/20440/1036
