41. No. They'll simply CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE.
It's all wordplay to them because PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING. If you don't CALL IT a draft, it can't be one, can it? Never mind that it's enforced, involuntary military conscription. Just as long as it's not being CALLED a "draft," then they get away with it. AGAIN. And the America that's been taught, by now, not to question anything because it's unpatriotic, will let this one slip by. Until far too many of their own young 'uns come home in boxes. Uh - er, excuse me - that's not going to happen either because we don't talk about "boxes" any more. We call it a nice, tidied-up, antiseptic, artificial lipstick-on-a-pig term like "transfer tubes."

Their method is simple (appropriate for the simple minds against which they can use it). Just don't CALL IT a "draft." Then, it isn't one.
