I'm not sure how this discussion jumped from universal service (which the original article was about, I believe) to the draft. I already mentioned in a previous post that I wasn't against the draft. I'm against universal service.

So if you're trying to convince me that the draft is a good thing, then fine....I agree. Take away the exceptions to it? Sure (though I *am* against putting females on the front lines, but that's a separate issue).

So, from that perspectice, sure, it's the end of the discussion (since we agree). No problems there.
