If you think any of this is untrue, think back to Charlie Rangel's statement 20 years ago that the surest way to start a Civil War would be to attempt to have a draft. Imagine Putin nuked something in Europe. Imagine for some reason we had to fight a WWIII in some traditional fashion (yes, I know it wouldn't go that way, but don't fight the hypo). Would Americans allow their kids to be drafted?
