August 14, 2007 COUNTDOWN w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - Keith discusses possible military draft and history of the draft in U.S. with Jon Soltz of VoteVets.org. Soltz on Iraq: "This is Whack-A-Mole."

1. If the draft is reinstated and most of the draftees refuse induction, what

can the powers that be do?

Arrest them? How many could they put in prison before the system was too clogged to work?

Would they round them up and send them to Iraq (or where ever) forcibly?

I'd dig a hidden bunker to hide my kid in my back yard, but dig about three to four feet around here and you hit the water table...

on edit: Corrected "did" shoulda been "dig"

2. The FBI hunts (ed) down draft evaders. I was in the Army with a guy who had

been arrested for draft evasion. They gave him the choice of enlisting or going to prison. He enlisted. There was an underground railway of sorts which would conduct draft evaders and deserters up to Canada. I'm sure something like that would happen again.

3. But this time, Canada doesn't want our kids.

4. Draft College Republicans!!

Wonder how many of them would be cheerleading this war if their butts were on the line?
