This was in today's guardian, it kinda freaked me out and made me wonder why its not over the front pages. Maybe it isn't accurate. But if it is, then there is going to be UPROAR |

mmmh... "Draft-dodging will be harder than in the 1960s. In December 2001, Canada and the US signed a "smart border declaration", which, among other things, will prevent conscientious objectors (and cowards) from finding sanctuary across the northern border. There will be no deferment on higher-education grounds..." UH OH.... |

It does, Blair has eased off the bush cock sucking as of late so it looks unlikely to happen here too. Can't find much about this on the net tho so I'm questioning its accuracy. |

"why its not over the front pages" because its current relevance to the uk isn't that high atm? dunno could be wrong. unlike the guardian to be inaccurate tho also..... |

the guardian article was an editorial, and the source cited is a political action site, not a government site. the link that the political action site provides to details about the supposed legislation is incomplete, so useless; otherwise, they only provide a link to selective service (since viet nam every male age 18-26 has to be registered with the selective service, though there has been no draft in that time). it's possible that legislation has been drafted, but will go nowhere. i suspect that these reports are mostly inflammatory and politically motivated. i hope that these reports are not true. at the moment i would say its hearsay... |

It won't happen here anyway. Our forces are being streamlined. There going to try to focus ours into an anti-terrorist force, almost like a large military SWAT team. They'll let the Yanks provide the grunts/cannon fodder. It does, however, mean we are likely to remain in bed with America for the forseeable future (as we'd have no army of our own). |

That seems more realistic. Is a bit confusing though. |

Supposedly the military objects to a draft because a resulting army would lack motivation relative to their current "professional" all volunteer army. Also I read that they hide the idea of starting a draft underneath obscure jargon to prevent public awareness. |
