Here's the related news story I found on Yahoo:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061120/ap_on_go_co/military_draft
I just got an email from an underground source claiming the following:
"Tell Bush and Congress
No Draft No Way!
We must take action now to stop the draft before it starts.
A new bill to be introduced in Congress in January will mandate military service for men and women between the ages of 18 and 42. The failure of the U.S. effort to occupy Iraq, as well as plans to take military action against Iran and possibly North Korea, has stretched the military to the breaking point and the Pentagon needs thousands of more troops to carry out the agenda of global dominance."
Okay, both men AND women?In fact, I don't even think women currently have to fill out a selective service card, do they?--and to the age of 42? The original conscript age was between 18 and 26. That seems like the most drastic draft measure that would ever have been taken in the U.S. Is this a hoax?
