1. Look at this part:
ATTENTION ALL AMERICAN MEN & WOMEN AGED 16-45

It wasn't that long ago that men who were 18 had to register. My how things have changed so suddenly.

8. bush will just lock us up
bush will just lock us up if we riot in the streets. Then he will send more and more young people to die to line his pockets. Meanwhile us pesky libs will rot away in concentration camps.

10. You need to lighten up a little..
It is so obviously a parody that I didn't think it necessary to point it out.

16. Nah, a draft will be sold as a "special skills" draft
meaning "Whew! I guess they won't come for ME!" There won't be rioting in the streets because people will think that since they aren't nurses or doctors, they'll be safe from it.

Well, surprise. Even if it's sold this way, it won't be written this way.

At this point, Fuckwit has no choice. He's misused the Guard, extended tours indefinitely, and called old geezers out of retirement. He's sent old guys who haven't fired a gun in 30 years to a war zone. He's running out of bodies very quickly, and patriotic youth in the heartland and desperate youth in the ghettos haven't been nearly as dumb as he thinks they are.

Besides, he's promised that he won't back a draft. If that isn't a clear indication that it's inevitable, what is?

14. My first clue was the part
where you could check that you suffer from queer plague or anal cysts. But it is pretty funny.

12. It's a parody!
Read the registration form!!! Under race..."brown (all flavors)". At the very bottom, it says it is a parody. It is actually pretty funny!

19. The draft..
.... will be the beginning of the end for our PNAC adventures, and I suspect even the evil-dumbass PNACers know it.

Americans wax patriotic as long as its somebody else's life that is disrupted, someone else's blood is spilled - a draft will turn public sentiment against the Iraq war on a fucking dime.

They are going to avoid the draft until there is no other choice - because their timeline will shrink to nothing as soon as it is implemented.
