If we are serious about this war reinstate the DRAFT then lets see what happens.
I have no problem with that. Also pass a law that all Congressional members immediate family members and cousins age 18 -25 are the first to be drawn up. THAT will truly show the world our nation’s committment.
We may not have needed the short turnarounds had Algore, under the direction of Komrade Klinton, reinvented the Armed Forces by reducing the standing army by 40%.
The draft would be needed if Congress funded the doubling of the size of the military. Since they will not fund a rapid increase in the size of the military a draft is not needed.
Liberals dream of a draft only for the protests it will bring to the colleges, just like the 60s. Burning draft cards, sit ins, if they get real lucky they might even bring about another Kent State - Oh, think of the fun they could have with that in the MSM.
I salute all in the service to our country today. Volunteers each and every one.
We had the draft during Viet Nam. Opposition to the draft was the primary tool the anti-war crowd had to turn public opinion against it.
And we would give the Democrats that weapon again because????
The volunteer military is working quite well, thank you.
