#1 This is a dumb move as it is a political non-starter. If they are having a hard time finding people with these skills, I suggest a skill bonus paid in US $. At some price appropriately skilled workers willing to join the military will come out of the woodwork.

#2 That's great - finally an American IT job that won't be outsourced. :-)

#3 This is an overall BAD idea. Destined to die a hideous and painful death... No matter how 'Specialized' it may be, it's still a Draft. And the Draft destroyed the Military in and after Vietnam!

#4 I think we need to stop and look at the legislators referenced as backing a draft. Rangel and Hollings! Not gonna happen.
