Why does this seem AWFULLY familiar? Oh that's right! This is the same line of bullshit that John Kerry said right before his 2004 defeat.
He has 4 choices. He can call for a draft. He can wind down the Iraq War, and deploy some, but not all the forces to Afghanistan. He can get sufficient volunteers. He can get allies to add troops.
Well, people are just not volunteering in sufficient numbers. The allies are pulling, not adding, troops. So, he is down to a draft or winding down the war. He said he will not do the latter. What's left?
He will not tell you this, but here is the answer: he will have to call for a military draft, period. The military would prefer not to do it, draftees are more difficult to train and form into cohesive fighting forces. But, there is no other way to fight all his wars, at the level he wishes to fight them. No, McCain is not joking about his war policies. He just will not tell the truth about the implications. He will, of course, deny vigorously when challenged that they require a military draft.
But, that's what simple addition compels. Today's second-graders, who will 10 years hence be called by McCain's draft, could teach him that.
Luckily, even people on the Huff can see through the bullshit:
Hofnarr See Profile I'm a Fan of Hofnarr
I'm still waiting for the draft that was "guaranteed" to happen if Bush was reelected in 2004. Do leftists actually believe their own nonsense?
I always enjoy seeing liberals idea of foreign policy and issues of the military, something they clearly have NO idea about.
