Yep, that's what they're really pushing for - they know the draft is the quickest way to put an end to any vigorous defense of this country if not an end to the military itself.

"Yep, that's what they're really pushing for - they know the draft is the quickest way to put an end to any vigorous defense of this country if not an end to the military itself."

Upon what evidence or reasoning do you base such a supposition?

In spite of the relative unpopularity of Vietnam, most conscripts reported and served out their obligations. I did, alongside many others. (I worked in personnel, where I saw the records.)

I expect that if a draft was deemed necessary to defend against the muslim terrorists, most would once again comply and serve well.

The fact of 9/11/2001 is compelling. Thus far military leadership has NOT deemed it necessary. Another 9/11/2001 attack could change that.

I would then expect pre-emption to take on entirely new meaning. Justifiably.

It also the quickest way to spark an armed revolution.
