the article ignores the fact there are 2 marine divisions available too. however, the previous force reductions made on the premise that land wars are obsolete have proven to have been very premature. land war army vs. army is on the verge of a big come back. where will the US pick up another 4 or 5 divisions, maybe 10? we cannot drain the national guard and reserves to the level needed to fight a north korea war and say an iran at the same time we are parking 100,000 soldiers in iraq and another 15,000 or more in afganistan? i sense a draft coming...

100 per cent you are.

I read yesterday that the Pentagon has an add

for volunteers to sit on the "local draft board."

I saw it, did not post or save but I saw it. Watch is right.

I doubt that today's young men are fit for the draft, politically, morally, or mentally. Initiating a draft (unless conditions change drastically) would probably be a disaster.
