How much difference would it make to you who initiated a draft in 2005? [View All]

I'm interested in a more specific breakdown of people's responses.

I'm asking because my brother is draft age and while I've always been confident that he is far from stupid enough to submit to conscription while GWB is commander in chief, I suspect that if he were asked to serve under Kerry that he would do it.

So, let's say there hasn't been another terrorist attack between now and 2005 but troops are spread too thin in Afghanistan and Iraq and things are looking bleak with North Korea and China. The newly elected President (Bush or Kerry) signs in universal conscription of men and women 18-45 with no exemptions except serious medical conditions.

You get a letter informing you to report for duty. How would you respond?
