Anyone know how they would do a draft if it was ever needed?

Would youngest or oldest go first?
Who would they take and who would they not take?
Would they draft women? Would they draft people that are only ones that can carry on the family name?

As far as age goes, it's 20 - 25 first, then 19, then 18. There is a lot of info on the selective service web site (sorry, don't have url handy)

The first wave of any reinstituted draft will be to "recapture" all of the vets who got out in the 90s and are past their IRR obligations.

We will need more warm bodies, but that is a ways down the line. Think about numbers between 200-500,000. The Guard and Reserves aren't big enough for this one.

They say there is not going to be a draft and that we common people are just to dumb to use the high tech military equipment. I think there going to need one here is the web page I got it from. [url]http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/WTC_draft010918.html[/url]

Me I think there full of shit if they think they can just walk in there and everyone will give up like the gulf war. They don't understand what holy war is at all. They don't stop fighting until they kill everyone.
