it would take a lot more than most people realize for the us gov. to begin drafting. first they would have to send all active reservist and nat. gaurd, then after that they still have all of the individuals that have recently gotten out of the military after a short term. even if you sign up for 2 yrs, you are still obligated to 8 yrs (2 active and 6 inactive) it is a policy for all branches. also the enlistment percentage is at an all time high right now. so basically, the only reason they would have to enable a draft is in the case of another world war.....and in that case we are all f*cked anyhow.
