..woman who are already on active duty isn't the same as drafting them, the female troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, were already on active duty or in the NG and Reserves. Granted it results in the same thing women in a combat zone.

This time the Democrats were wrong, but let's wait and see what kind of little protect the "rich" rules the Republicans try to add to these bills as riders. We all know that neither of these bills will pass as written, and that the Rethugs will try to find a way to exempt more Dick Cheneys, Tom Delays, and all of the other Chickenhawks from getting their tail feathers shot off.

But yes the draft boards are being staffed even as we discuss it here, and that staffing has been going on for some time now. How do I know because I'm a draft board member, and have been since February of this year.

The problem seems to be that the media has taken no interest in the draft boards, maybe with this story they will, but I would'nt hold my breath.
