resume the draft,

What are you going to do with the draftees?

There are 1.3 million active members of the US military.

Every year 3 million people graduate from high school.

If we go with the standard two years of service we get an active military of seven million. But if you are going to train 3 million new people every year you are going to need to expand our training facilities.

Currently we are training about 180,000 a year. So we will need the ability to train 15 times that number.

So add in another million to do the training.

And that is just the start.

The draft is actually an awful idea unless you need a large number of warm bodies very fast.

Really? That’s a Clinton Administration type arguement. Draft to the extent necessary, not beyond what is required. Not everybody gets drafted, never did, but let’s give the next generation of Romney boys a chance to serve.
