2. A letter in response to the congress.org rant… means nothing
3. Editorial on why the draft would be a bad idea… doesn’t support your assertion
4. Link didn’t work
5. Your original congress.org soapbox rant, repeated and still meaningless
6. Talks about draft preparations for skilled workers, but states that “the possibility of a so-called "special skills draft" is remote.”
7. All speculation and rumor: “Other sources have informed us of a rumor that the administration is talking with Republican members of Congress on the possibility of a draft. This is a sign that the draft may be reinstated”
8. Talks about how the draft works, but (again) does not assert one likely to happen.
9. Mostly reports Hagel’s and Rangle’s postions on the draft (again, probably to scare young people into voting). Does not assert one is likely to happen.
10. Again talks about Hagel and Rangle, but goes further to talk about troop shortages and why a larger military might be helpful. Fails to report that we are exceeding congressionally mandated limits, instead alluding to a draft but never asserting that one is likely to happen… more media scare tactics to sell papers.

In sum, none of these indicate that a draft is forthcoming or even likely. If you disagree, please provide quotes and evidence, not more links that say nothing. Most of us aren't swayed by dozens of meaningless links with no argument behind them.
