Of course, if the draft were to start back up, Bush's fate would be sealed, so don't look for that to happen.

Besides it makes economic sense too... besides the political cost of a draft, the cost of training 6000 troops for deployment would easily top 300Mil (basic training, specialized training, equipment, room and board)... the basic fromula used to be 50K per private...
