You are on a roll today. Where do you find this stuff, do you google "anti-Bush scare-mongering that fails the test of facts and logic"?
The plan at issue is about methods for registering people for a military draft.
Is it even worth trying to explain to you how this is different from "calling for a reinstatement of the draft"?
Registration for the draft is manditory for young men. Hell, I'm registered for the draft. It's always been manditory except for a period from 1975 to 1980 (manditory draft registration was reinstated by Carter).
I suggest you read the Post-Intelligencer article linked in your post (generally a good idea to read and understand items before you post them). I posted an excerpt below.
Revising the methods for registering people is an appropriate reaction to the ways in which warfare has changed since 1980 (makes total sense that language skills and computer skills are far more important these days).
The document doesn't "call for the reinstatement" of the draft... don't you think that would have, I don't know, made the news somewhere other than a website that misspells the word "Blatant"?
Finally, if you think this country doesn't need a registration for the draft of some form, you're out of touch with reality (and you disagree with such right wingers as Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, etc). Having a registration for the draft is the only way the U.S. could respond to a massive attack/invasion on our country's own soil. Surely you and I wouldn't be opposing a draft if a Nuclear attack killed several million Americans.
Mandatory registration for the draft was suspended in 1975 but was resumed in 1980 by President Carter after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. About 13.5 million men, ages 18 to 25, currently are registered with the Selective Service.
"I don't know anyone in the executive branch of the government who believes that it would be appropriate or necessary to reinstitute the draft," Rumsfeld said last month.
At present, the Selective Service is authorized to register only young men and they are not required to inform the government about any professional skills. Separately, the agency has in place a special registration system to draft health care personnel in more than 60 specialties into the military if necessary in a crisis.
Some of the skill areas where the armed forces are facing "critical shortages" include linguists and computer specialists, the agency said. Americans would then be required to regularly update the agency on their skills until they reach age 35.
Individuals proficient in more than one critical skill would list the skill in which they have the greatest degree of competency.
