Now that Georgie has lost the Election...

I dont know if the draft will come back, but it is not a ridiculous notion.
I know that the military is stretched very thin. I know that the various service divisions have not made their recruiting goals and are now offering a variety of new bonus incentives. I do know that a provision of the No Child Left Behind law seeks to collect the names and addresses of young men, and soon, young women of draftable age, and currently uses this info to direct recruit. 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.
