"Special skills" draft on the drawing board
The [U.S.] government is taking the first steps toward a
targeted military draft of Americans with
special skills in computers and foreign languages.
Apparently,
there is already a special system to draft "health care
personnel", whatever that means.
Can you imagine the havoc that could be wrought by
disgruntled programmers forced to write code for the government?
So all I have to do now is volunteer at the local hospital
and I'll have hit the conscription jackpot.
