Another case of the post title not matching the facts presented.

The only thing I saw that could even remotely be called a back-door draft is the extending of enlistment periods, which I don't know enough about to know if what was said is true. (In otherwords, I would like to see more information on it, but I am doubtful since the rest of the article is obviously spinning already known things to a dubious conclusion.)

The rest of what is presented is, as another poster said, weak.

The government has always had plans to draft people it needs in the event of a major war (geez, don't any of you watch M*A*S*H?

)
