What Orwellian name will they give to the draft?
Something like "the world travel opportunity act for the socially disadvantaged." Or maybe the Cristian, Crusader Rabbit, kill a raghead and go to heaven act?

Help them come up with a good one.

30. The National Defense Act.
what could be more orwellian; precise from one perspective, yet equally more deceitful from another than calling legislation to draft americans to military service for an offensive war as The National Defense Act.
