We're going to need about 100,000 in Iraq for occupation duty, most of the National Guard here at home for Homeland Security, 15,000 in Afghanistan, plus our Balkan deployments. We're screwed unless we restart the draft. Problem is, I think most of our young people will run for Mexico and Canada if the draft is restarted.

Now....we're going to bail out one of the richest countries in Asia, which hates us. Meanwhile, things are beginning to fall apart in Afghanistan. More evidence that there is a fundemental conflict between world policing and the defense of the U.S. Personally, I think that national defense should be the priority.

We had this type of "trained" force before Clinton "refined" our military.
