Reading between the lines

It's fairly easy to come up with all sorts of ideas - given some time and different news sources!
I posit that the US is considering re introducing the draft to boost its flagging troop numbers.
Why?
An indendent consultancy, on behalf of the US Government, is compiling a database of eligible young people. This is ostensibly to ailow targetted marketing by recruiters.
The enlistment numbers in the US continue to drop - not meeting the quotas for several months - even though the quotas have been dropped.
The dangers faced by American troops in Iraq have been exaggerated, adding to the difficulty of recruiting soldiers at home, the Army general in charge of National Guard forces said recently in a Yahoo news report.
The most recent figures I've seen are more than 1700 dead and more than 17000 injured.
The Coalition of the Willing seem determined to occupy Iraq until the job is done (whatever that job might be!).
So where will the troops come from - especially if they're not signing up now with a $90,000 incentive package on offer? If they can't con them into it with big dollars - they may have to think about conscripting them!
Hopefully I'm misreading the signs!
