could we even pull off a draft?


I bet more than 50% of the young population wouldnt' qualify.

Hmmmm, when I registered for the draft during the VN war I was listed as 5-8, 110 (fully clothed). I asked about the limit and the guy said '4 pounds lighter and you'd be 4F. But we'd have to check you for weight loss drugs.'
I said: 'No drugs. It's called lack of food.'

So, I know there's a 'too light' limit. I wonder what the 'too fat' limit is these days. The young folks today might have some issues with that.

I bet more than 30% of draft eligible young men have not registered for the draft, particularly in urban areas.
