All volunteer?

Mon Oct 04, 2004 at 09:25:47 PM PDT

Kerry says he will not bring back the draft. Bush says he will keep the army "all volunteer". Is there a difference? Maybe, and given the semantic games that the neocons like to play, probably. Suppose the draft does come back, but you are given a choice of four years "commnity service" (ie slave labor) or two years in the army, well, it will still be an all volunteer army, won't it?
