Bush War Adviser Says Draft Worth a Look

Bush War Adviser Says Draft Worth a Look: “WASHINGTON (AP) – Frequent tours for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have stressed the all-volunteer force and made it worth considering a return to a military draft, President Bush’s new war adviser said Friday. ‘I think it makes sense to certainly consider it,’ Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute said in an interview with National Public Radio’s ‘All Things Considered.’ ‘And I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table. “

You cannot have a draft in an unpopular war any more. Have you people learned nothing from Vietnam? Rebellion in people would overturn the government and a draft would destroy the professionalism of the military. So consider it if that is what you really want to do and you will be much like Charles Randgel. On the other hand, if there were a nuclear attack on a city and a war against forces in Pakistan and radical Islam everywhere became necessary because of it then their might be enough support for a draft. Expecting a draft to be possible among our young under conditions in the country today is quite delusional.
