The pacifist Church of the Brethren reported that they received a visit from a Selective Service official who asked church officials to "dust off longstanding alternative service programs that allow conscientious objectors to serve in two-year domestic service projects in lieu of military service."
The Selective Service's explanation for the visit? "Selective Service officials have insisted that there are no plans to reinstate the draft. They said Alternative Service Director Cassandra Costley stopped by the Brethren Service Center simply because she was in the area."
Gosh, I was in the neighborhood and saw the light on. How you guys doin'? Not that we're bringing back the draft, or anything!
