The Pentagon has requested the names and addresses from the public schools for all students approaching 18 years of age. It is said this is to give recruiters an better chance at meeting enlistment goals. It sounds like a violation of privacy rights to me, and strikes me as more than a little desparate. I agree with others who have said that reinstituting the draft cannot be sold to the American people. How will the Pentagon maintain the military size needed, if not the draft?
