Will the U.S. have to give serious consideration to a draft in the next two years?

He never said it wasn't worth it. Not in my recollections anyway, and I've asked him alot of questions in the last twenty five years.

I stand corrected. The point is, both w and clinton were young men, and youth is there to make mistakes. Have both learned from thier mistakes? absolutely. and they both have become exemplary men over the years.

Will todays young americans have that same chance? did your father? Well, yes, obviously your father is a great man, but opportunities that could have been his had the government not called him up to serve...his life changed into something different from his experience.

If you were drafted (theoretically), would your father encourage you to go or would he support you - urge you - to not?

If I were drafted, I would suspect my father would think more highly of me if I went and served my country with honor. And I would do that, not only because my father did the same back in the late 60's, but because I would do it for my country. I would follow his lead, so to speak.

My point is, Slick Willy isn't any better than Dubya.

You're just rehashing old SPAM at this point. We all realize the past two Presidents avoided service in VIETNAM. Let's move on to the one in office.

I´d rather be governed by a guy who lied about a blow job than by a guy who starts war on false pretexts or "faulty intelligence" any time!

After failing to meet recruiting goals, the Pentagon is working with a private firm to create a database on high school students.

The database includes names, dates of birth, genders, addresses, Social Security numbers, e-mail addresses, ethnicity, telephone numbers, and even grade point averages.

The purpose, according to a Defense Department statement, is "to assist" in "direct marketing recruiting efforts."

Privacy Advocates Concerned

But privacy advocates say it violates a federal law that restricts the government's ability to gather personal information. They say they understand the military's need to recruit but this type of information-gathering goes too far.

"It's very secretive," said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. "It feels a lot like a big brother proposal, and it really should be stopped."

The Pentagon -- struggling to recruit in the face of the daily violence in Iraq -- says the database is a way to remain competitive in a marketplace where young people have a lot of choices.

Officials say they will handle the data with care.

"We always worry about privacy issues," Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said.

A growing number of parents were already upset about the military's recruiting techniques. A little-known provision in the 2002 "No Child Left Behind" education law requires every public school to provide the military with the names, addresses and phone numbers of students.

Last month, Louise Wannier went to her daughter's high school to submit an opt-out letter, which prohibits recruiters from accessing personal information.

She learned today about the new database, which may have much more information on her daughter than she'd ever imagined.

"I thought I had protected my kid," she said. "This is a direct violation of family privacy and parental rights."

Privacy advocates and at least one congressman are now fighting to stop the gathering of information for the database.

ABC News' Dan Harris filed this report for "World News Tonight."
