Where in hell does this guy think the troops come from?
The DNC youth?

I don’t know about you, but I’m with George W on this one: It’s time for surge!
Yes, let’s surge into Iraq with another 20,000 – put ‘em out there in the hot spots, sweating sniper fire, praying that the car that just pulled up doesn’t explode in hellish fury, fretting that anyone (everyone!) could be a suicide bomber. I salute you, Mr. War President, for escalating America’s military presence in this civil war, asking even more of our people to step up, step in, and sacrifice their jobs, time, limbs... and lives.
The only proviso that I attach to my gung-ho endorsement of your exciting surge strategy is this: None of the 20,000 additional troops that you’re committing should come from the ranks of people who’ve already been there, many on their fourth, fifth, and even sixth rotation. Excuse me, but it’s the stuff of tortuous war crimes to keep circling the same people through that shooting gallery.
Instead, here’s my plan: Draft Young Republicans! Yes – they’ve been your most ardent cheerleaders for invading, occupying, and staying the course in Iraq; they have been on the front lines jeering and sneering at war protesters, they have bravely attached those yellow Support-Our-Troops magnets to their SUVs, they have consistently voted for you and your war. So, I say: Give it to ‘em!
It’s nice that your own daughters – Jenna and Barbara – have supported your Iraq policy rhetorically, but, come on, why not put their boots on the ground too? Give ‘em a chance to prove what they’re made of. Those Halliburton executives, too – draft all of their twenty-somethings. And don’t forget Cheney’s young relatives.
Any young Republican who says “Support Our Troops” – should become one. Surely, sir, you can find a mere 20,000 of them willing to sign up for your “noble cause.” The least you can do is ask them. Or are you afraid of what they’d say?
The author doesn't need to worry, almost all of the people in IRAQ, every one of which volunteered, is a "young Republican".
I take it this genius either fails to understand the concept of an entirely volunteer force, or supports a draft.
"Peace, bro!"
Sarcasm - The overwhelming tool of choice, among leftist tools...
The simple fact of the matter is that military recruitments are well above where they need to be to support the present levels of infantry that Congress has authorized.
Now if he wants to make the argument that we should be funding 6 or 8 more Divisions of combat troops he'll get no argument from me but somehow I doubt this putz has thought his little article that far through.

Hightower is a wining little sissy.
Let's take this guy's proposal and run with it. The Demo/Commies are just itching to raise taxes. I'm all for it, as long as only Democrats are required to pay those taxes. What could possibly be wrong with that idea - the pack of Democrat thieves in Congress and in the electorate have been lusting after tax increases, so let's give it to them, but only them...
ping.
It's not too late.
Maybe take one of 'em out every now and then and torture him with panties or something. Hightower would like that though ~ maybe waterboard him or something ~ try to find out if there's any intelligence behind that mouth.
I'm 63, two tours in RVN, overweight, tired.... and I'd go tomorrow if my President called.
Hey,I'll be 56 next month and would be happy to go.I'll even provide my own weapon and body armour.Just give me food,ammo and intel on the location of the bad guys-my sniper skill set is still intact and ready to go.

The leftists confuse snark with sarcasm.
Supporters of this war will be the ones surging. Liberal weenie cowards aren't in the military since it's an all volunteer force.
Ok, my proviso is that all Democrat voters have $30,000 added to their annual Federal income-tax bill since they love taxation so much.
Hightower is right on one point though. DEMOCRATS are a bunch of sniveling cowards who refuse to die for anything. ESPECIALLY FREEDOM!!!
