Another survey done for the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation of 1,028 people found that 32 percent of young people said they wouldn't serve if the draft were reinstated, while 20 percent said they would seek deferments. Forty-three percent said they would serve.

The warmakers don't need for everybody to serve, as they would only need say, another 500,000 men (the fundy wackos won't allow women to be drafted), so if 1/3 said they would not serve, that would not be enough to stop them. 43% would go either because they believe all the lies and bullshit of the Bush Administration, or they have been conditioned throughout life to respect authority. They will just go because the government says they have to go.

Of course, if a draft is reinstated, the enforcement machinery would also have to be reinstated to confront those who do not comply. That would mean tightening the borders, restricting passports for young men and diverting resources from the Justice Department and FBI away from counterterrorism to rounding up draft resisters.
