I’ll be anxious to see what enlistment/re-enlistment numbers are under him.

Probably not very high.

If he reinstates the draft, and it looks like I’ll be called up, I’m running to the Navy to do EOD.

A recent poll of active duty service members (sorry, I don't have the link) said that 10% would refuse reenlistment based on this alone.

They will be down. And the media will blame the military.

“Retention numbers” just went way the hell south. Maybe Obama wants an army that can “swish in” and take care of real problems - like decorating questions and the like.

I just recently read somewhere that in a survey 10% said they wouldn’t reenlist and another 5% said they might not reenlist. That is scary!
