Don't listen to people saying there wont be a draft. They don't know the future. There could spark a war at any moment. Remember Pearl Harbor anyone? I am not sure about the whole Canada thing though, I feel that the whole, "protecting United States freedom by fighting," thing is old. I personally feel we have abused our freedom. Everyone is crying about they want rights, We deserve this, we deserve that, why don't you try and be gay in a dangerous Country and see how long you live. There is such thing as too much freedom, Don't you people understand you are destorying America?

There is no longer a draft. So they would have to re-instate the draft first.
There's also the age limit. If you're over 25 you wouldn't be drafted in that case anyway.
I'd not bother worrying about it unless a draft is re-instated though.

No draft. But the old things that used to keep people out of combat--flat feet, low IQ, scoliosis--no longer apply. So sign up and go to Iraq to fight the evil people (George W's enemies)!

The United States does not have a draft at this time!! Even if they did, they probably wouldn't take you.

Hasn't been a draft since about 1973. It's been in all the papers since then.

Lumbar scoliosis greater than 20 degrees or thoracic scoliosis greater than 30 degrees is disqualifying for enlistment, appointment or induction.

There is no draft. No one wants a draft. There won't be one. So don't worry about it.

There is not draft going on now and there will not be one in the near or distant future.

Since there isn't a draft I'd say no.
