Bad news if your an American youth:

…the SSS is in fact preparing for the real possibility of a Skills, Medical and Combat Draft for 2005. Congress of course must still pass a 1-page trigger resolution reauthorizing current conscription law, but the Selective Service will by early 2005 have geared up the entire draft system and be prepared to register more than 40 million Americans for a new Skills Draft and the Medical Draft; they will be using complex forms that will track a person’s skills—man or woman.

There’s a huge amount of detail about this at this site here with links to claimed official documents relating to the draft and an extensive timeline of actions in government about it. (via.)
