Looks like they are drafting plans to have a 'special skills draft' which would draft people with certain skills... right now they are talking about computer skills and foreign language skills... wonder what kind of debate this will spark.

The government has been hiring "Hackers" for years now...its usually when they get busted and they get "cut a deal"...as for a draft I do not for see that happening...

Yea, but this isn't hiring them... this is making them have a higher chance of getting picked in the draft just because they have special skills.

Fine by me. If there's going to be a draft, I'd rather be doing something I like rather than grunt work. Shit, it's probably better than the job I have now.
