What rhymes with graft, shaft, and daft?

The NeoCon think tank Project for the New American Century has sent a letter to congress all but calling for a draft. Let's see, what shall we call this force enhancement? We can't come out and call it a draft. Here's a few possibilites: freedom force, liberty legions, or best of all, freedom volunteers.
How might you become a freedom volunteer? You go to a freedom force lottery site, where you would "win" free prizes like cases of Pepsi, AOL memberships, American Eagle tote bags, and a friendly invitation to a freedom force volunteer brigade seminar called "Freedom isn't Free". All freebies are contingent on the no strings attached mandatory meeting. After a short pre-screening interview and urine analysis, you are then "awarded" a six week all expenses paid vacation to the nearest fort. Here you are provided with force enchancement skills development, and a kevlar helmet. After that, the goverment provides you with a long term "free agent contract" which enlists you for a fixed term, and offers you a "signing bonus", just like the pro football players get, which entitles your family to a generous extra death benefit should anything happen to you on your "freedom and honor tour". Those resisting enlistment would be sent to mandatory voluntary re-education centers, where they would receive free instruction and therapeutic training to liberate them of seditious and treasonous tendencies. True rebels would be declared enemy non-combatants and invited to attend mandatory X camps in each state of the union, built on the Camp XRay model.
Each freedom volunteer (FV) brigade would have its own mascot and colors and compete in feats of valor on battlefields real and virtual. Some slogans we could use for bumper stickers, trading cards, yellow ribbon inscriptions, t-shirts, and funeral cards: FV Pride! Lucky to be a member of Team America! Be free, join today! Fight the terror with your freedom, now! Blood proud! Never say die hard! Feel the excitement - freedom on the march! Freedom is power!
