"They knew what they were in for when they joined up, but to compare Iraq to WWII is ridiculous."

How about Iraq to Vietnam?? There was a draft then yet still there was a stop-loss in place. I had a critical MOS and was "extended" while in-country. Back to back tours.

Thats one of the reasons Vietnam was so unpopular. You were screwed. If there was a draft now, Iraq would be just as unpopular.
