I've known several at workplaces that flat out said they would go to jail instead of the army if there was a draft.

Fear of being killed or injured was the top reason to avoid service for 26 percent of youth in 2004, almost double the 14 percent reported in 2000

Yep....

They know they are NOT ISSUED automatic weapons and ammo in ...'jail'?

What would happen if Automatic Weapons and Ammo WERE to be 'issued' in jail-prisons?

They would find themselves even more "inconvenienced" being sent to jail than drafted.

We can always take a page from the Russians during WWII and build penal battallions if it gets that bad.

If we were to deploy the military where we're most threatened - - on our own borders, to keep terrorists and illegals out - - I'll bet you'd see recruitment tick up.
