I do see that Rumsfeld's bold rethinking of the military has ignored the Powell doctrine and what was learned in Vietnam. And it seems that something must give. So we'll see. Perhaps we will succeed quickly in Iraq and Afghanistan. Or perhaps we will suffer another catastrophic attack that will spur enlistment just when we need it most. I hope its the former.

UT assures me that the draft WILL NOT happen. How dare you? He says anyone who thinks the draft MAY happen is a moron, idiot and something else I can't recall. Oh,yeah, "Loser"---geeez, you're stupid.
