I'm not sure if your joking or not. If your not I'd love to hear from you. (If you are I'd still love to hear from you if you really are going to Afghanistan). If you were meaning to point out that my post was somewhat fanciful, I plead guilty. But no more so than people who are calling for a draft. That won't happen unless things get much much worse at home.

I wonder what issues would arise with the various government officials should a "Third Oregon Volunteer Infantry" be organize??

Well I was joking about sending people because the military has no sense of humor about extra legal combatants on the modern battlefield. I am going to Afghanistan for nine months, I spent six months in Africa last year. My reward for being good at tracking down bad guys related to the GWOT. I don't mind fanciful posts and generally support the idea of organizing volunteer units that could be federalized for service. I would welcome the Third Oregon Volunteer Infantry in Afcrackistan. I want a draft for the immediate expansion of the army by three or four divisions, and I mean immediate. Not because I know something but because I don't know the intentions of all the various scum bags out there...
