4. The first tihing to go out the window
will be the drug test, in fact a Guard unit, they tried

half of them popped possitive, they were still sent.

The second thing that will go will be the new kinder and gentler military and start thinking of Full Metal Jacket (the Boot camp sequences)

Oh and they will not ask and even if you tell, they will not care if you are gay

We have had this conversations with draft age kids that we know...

5. no way
All warm bodies will be going. Actually, the only ones that will be able to get away with, disabilities, drug use etc are the sons and daughter of the rich. It will be the modern day college deferment. If and when the guide lines are sent out dealing with a draft expect the loop holes to be in place for the privileged.

6. I've heard from guys who've been
called back up that some 'draftees' have been failing drug tests on purpose. The person I talked to said that the 'draftees' are now being informed that failing a drug test will result in "an immediate deployment to Iraq."

These are guys who finished their commitment and then got grabbed in the back door draft.
