I guess it was just a matter of time, since the number of people in the military doesn't seem to be sufficient for the mission(s) it is being used for, but it looks like a trial balloon is being floated for a "limited" draft program.
This article here says the Selective Service System ("the draft") is in the planning stages for promulgating rules and procedures to draft people into the military.
This is being defined as a "special skills" draft designed to get people with linguistics or computer science backgrounds. These two groups would be added to the already set-up system for health care professionals.
Everyone is taking great pains to say this is just for planning purposes and that no one expects a draft to be implemented.
In other news, the Selective Service also announced a program to lease the Brooklyn bridge to indigenous peoples under the SPWBA Act of 1924.
