There will not be a draft. It would never hold up politically. Support for this war is already shaky, and if a draft were brought up as a serious possibility, the support for the war would snap like a twig and the soldiers would come home. A lot of people out there who support the war support it because their own children are not there.
And if they do reinstate the draft, thanks to global warming Canada has nice, warm weather this time of year.

Yes. The coming war with Iran (and her allies) will require a massive influx on men into the armed forces. A draft is the only way to do it.

Read the news: no plans to attack Iran from Robert Gates. This is all sabre rattling. Worst case, war does break out, we can handle it, but the military might try to raise recruitments. They'll never bring the draft back after the outcry it caused in the '60s. That one democratic moron, Rangel wanted to bring it back to force people that didn't want to be in the military to fight our wars. I say let the volunteers do it.

Right now its 11:45am. The bar down the street opens at noon. So I will be getting a draft in 15 minutes.

God I hope so. Even if there wasn't a "war" being fought or fantasized about by all the dickheads in DC, the 18-20 year olds in the USA ought to give 2 years of their life for some good of public service, civic duty, something of value, etc before entering into college or university. Maybe that would detour so many freshman and sophomores from flunking out due to lack of responsibility for themselves at such a young age.

Yes, a nice cold Guinness draft.
Only registered hippies will be drafted, and once they all head to Canada we can revoke there citizenship!

Now that Democrats control Congress? Almost certainly. They will do ANYTHING to advance their position, regardless of consequences to America. They've proven that again and again.

No. There is no need for one right now. If Iran were to nuke Israel and start World War III, possibly. If you're not willing to help save your country and the entire world, what kind of American are you?

No. The people don't want it, and most importantly, the military is opposed to it from the top down. It only comes up as political rhetoric to instill fear and hedge votes.
