Before it went down the memory hole. It was removed shortly the news programs started talking about the Universal National Service bill.

I see we will disagree on this.

I'll just continue to call a spade a spade and realise sometimes a
cigar is just a cigar.

edit:
I'll add this lil bit from PPI/National Service/Selective service
http://www.ppionline.org/ppi_ci.cfm?knlgAreaID=115&subsecID=145&contentID=251855

Instead of discarding the Selective Service System as an anachronism, therefore, this report proposes that it be reinvented as a recruiting device for voluntary national service. Specifically, PPI proposes to:

Replace the current Selective Service System with a National Service System that recruits young Americans to serve in one of three programs targeted at our new security needs: the military's new, short-term "citizen soldier" enlistment program, which should be scaled up to ease the growing strains on our military personnel; AmeriCorps, the nation's leading civilian volunteer corps, which should be expanded to bolster homeland security; and the Peace Corps, which should once again be a vital component of U.S. efforts to promote political and economic freedom abroad.

Require that both men and women register in this new National Service System.

Continue draft registration for those who choose not to volunteer for any of the three service options.
This policy report traces the evolution of America's approach to raising the military forces for its defense, examines growing strains on our current model of military recruiting and the emerging demands for civilian security efforts, and presents a blueprint for converting the passive Selective Service System into a National Service System that actively recruits young volunteers to serve their country.
