Military Draft on its way

No kidding I am a vet and I think this list is total bullshit, if the kids WANT to join they will, the US Gov has NO business having this data base as it is already law to register when you turn the age of 18, so why do they now need all the other information?

This is just yet another step into a place everyone says this country "would never go".

and since Im the one that brought this up in the first place - I am both a vet and I protested against the draft in the 60s and the war in Vietnam - I took part in the May Day shutdown of Wash DC and have been teargassed by my government on quite a few occassions. I also served 12 years in the military and decorated by their little medals and ribbons.
I also agree that the military is a great way to fix the problem of what I consider a total erosion to apathy of parents now-adays that allows things like gang violence and other ridiculous behavoir to flourish without correction.

I however, can't stand the premise of 16 year old kids being catalouged for reference and email, letter and phone contact to try to coerce them into signing up - and even more importantly - to have a database file of all of these teens to be able to track their wherabouts - a huge privacy issue. If the government needs people they can ask - and if they can get congress to pass the laws, can even institute a legal draft - but no way in this world can they be allowed to invade the privacy of every teen in America. And if I were a parent of someone that young I would be contacting my congressional rep and chewing out their ears right now.

But guess whats gonna happen - those same apathetic parents that dont vote, dont care what little Johnnie does - are gonna sit back and let the US do it to them again - cause they're spineless.
