2. We're going to need it.

With 50% of our current stock of troops planning on not re-uping then they are going to need a new way to fill the trenches. They are already tapping people who have served their time and gotten out.

3. Draft? Hardly!

Bush already has it figured out. His solution: high unemployment among low income workers. This way the wealthy don't have to sacrifice THEIR kids.

4. Two words.

"Forced Service". Even people cronically unemployed and desperate aren't going to be stampedeing to the recruiting office in the current environment. A draft is going to be necessary to get them into uniform.

5. Why not the draft?

all of the dittoheads,conserative rich kids that shout from the rooftop how much they love this country,well you lying hypocrites prove your love for this country by defending it against its enemies,I'll bet my last peso,the so called terroist will just disappear,the bloodthirsty,greedy,hypocrites will fold their tents and retreat to their caves(Chaney is already there)Wake up from your slumber America the cowards are in retreat.
