Military draft for computer experts and linguists
Seattle P-I claims Pentagon is short on people with computer knowledge and linguistic skills and is considering a military draft with little faith that the act will actually pass the Capitol Hill.
Congress, which would have to authorize a draft, has shown no interest in taking such a step. Kathleen Long, a spokeswoman for Sen. Carl Levin, the senior Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said a draft has little support among lawmakers.
