2. Expand your concept of "draft age" ...
I read recently that Department of Defense is desperately in need of people with advanced computer skills. You watch. If/when draft comes back, people like me (48 yrs. old, highly skilled computer engineer) will also get tapped.

3. Not only that
But anyone who is retired military and under the age of 60 is considered "retired reserve" and could be mobilized into active duty by the Secretary of Defense.

This applies to my father, a retired navy guy, who'll be 55 in August.

4. college deferments will no longer be considered. . .
and professionals specializing in linguistics, health care, and computer technology will be eligible under the age of 45.

The Candian border will be patrolled heavily for conscientous objectors.
