"If we start a draft, then we get the people who do not want to be there."
So what? Men have duties.
I just hate the way Viet Nam era leftist propaganda has become the received wisdom.
Well I agree on the level that we have responsibilities.
But I had heard the thought banied about that one reason we don't have people marching in the streets is because 99.99999% of the guys in Iraq WANT to be there. For every Cindy Sheathead there are 1000 upstanding American soldiers with families that understand what is going on, and what is at stake.
If we put the "disadvantaged" and the street kid who barely can pick his nose let alone find a job in uniform, there will be many more malcontents, all of which have similar family members at home who believe in the power of the social security and disability checks much more so than in the power of their own hard work.
We don't need 125000 more men.
We need unfettered access to middle eastern airspace for about 90 days, and an increase in bomb production.
Take out Damascus and the Syrian military
Take out Teheran and the Iranian military
Take out the Bekaa Valley and everyone who lives there.
Screw them before they finally start blowing themselves up here, which probably isn't that far off.
Remember this.
We are one election away from having the American version of Neville Chamberlain.
And some would say we already have in the person of the greatest sack of crap that occupied the Oval Office in my lifetime.
