Anyone seen this before?
It was first introduced as the Universal National Service Act of 2006 (H.R. 4752) by Rep. Charles Randel (D-NY).
To provide for the common defense by requiring all persons in the United States, including women, between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes.
It seems to be hugely unpopular among members of both the House and Senate and many critics are calling it simply an Anti-War maneuver. Bringing back the draft would be certain death for the Iraq campaign among the general public.
Call it what you want, but it sounds like a draft to me.

No draft. Promise. That will play poorly with R’s. Bush won’t do it. Heck with a draft there is a possibly that a rich person’s kid may have to war. Bush will NEVER have that!

Good point. I’m just surprised that the media hasn’t covered the story more, regardless of whether it’s a political dead-end.
