Of the 10 active divisions of the US Army, only one hasn't already been sent to Iraq or Afghanistan - the one in South Korea.

I've heard blurbs of someone (can't remember who) actually saying that it's time to reinstate the draft, which is a proposal so radioactive (especially in an election year) that I cannot fathom it being seriously considered, much less enacted. Does anyone recall who's talking about this?
(Tried "Cheney" and "Draft" on Google, but apparently it wasn't him.)
