We do not need a drafted army.

I hope that comment needed a sarcasm tag.

No, the conscript army we had in WWII, Vietnam and Korea did just fine. The volunteer/day-care army we have now is much more expensive, much smaller and much more feminine that it needs to be to win a Bostonge, Tet or Pusan Perimeter. The only sarcasm needed is when folks talk about having "the most professional army" we've ever had.

We don't need the draft?

The active Army fell short by 6000 in recruiting for April. That makes four months in a row that numbers have not been met and April was the worst so far. The Marines are not hitting their numbers either and the Guard and Reserve recruiting numbers are going into the toilet even faster. How do you propose we man the force?
