If it were all that easy, Obama could have drafted a bunch of these people already to help improve the unemployment situation.

It's not quite that easy. There is currently no draft and contrary to birther handwringing, Obama has not yet assumed the position of dictator.

Your comment remains ridiculous.

Really? Academia wasn't transformed into a Left-wing institution overnight. It took about 15-20 years, --a blink of an eye in the calendar of social change. The military could be transformed in the same way, in less than a generation, from a conservative institution to one in which conservatives are very uncomfortable coming to work.

Don't be naive.

There’s one ‘minor’ difference between academics and soldiers. The latter put their lives on the line for very little compensation. That is after at least 9 weeks of grueling basic training when they are away from hearth and home and any communication whatsoever with loved ones.

I would say also that the transformation to a more ‘progressive’ military is well underway.
