Return Of The Draft?

October 27, 2004 | Issue 40•43

As the war in Iraq drags on, some Americans fear reinstatement of the military draft. What do you think?

Young Woman

Sara Simpson,
Camera Operator
"Well, okay. As long as it's only a small draft and then they promise to stop."

Black Man

Leonard Robertson,
Systems Analyst
"A draft would be great. Going down there to sign myself up would be such a hassle."

Asian Man

James Sanders,
Carpenter
"If I get drafted, I hope they put me on one of the swift boats. From what I gather, those guys are never in any danger."

Young Man

Johnny Grant,
Carpet Cutter
"If I must submit to a draft, I hope I'm not picked by Cincinnati."

Old Man

Chris Daniels,
Physician
"Well, no one is getting drafted until after the election, so there's no use worrying about it now."

Old Woman

Carmen Rice,
Brokerage Clerk
"That's it. I'm voting for the candidate who would flip-flop on sending my son to die, rather than the one who'd do it without hesitation."
