MONMOUTH - Anti-war activist Bobby Muller told students at Monmouth College on Wednesday that a military draft is not only a possibility but could happen quickly if the government decides it's time.

Muller, a partially paralyzed Vietnam veteran, is the founder of Alliance for Security, which is attempting to get people to talk about and take action on national security issues.

A few hundred Monmouth College students gathered on campus Wednesday afternoon to hear Muller. He has been traveling the country to discuss the draft, stopping at college campuses along the trip.

"Nobody favors a draft," he said. "You mercifully haven't had to deal with war in your life, but things are not going well (in Iraq)."
