Those of us who are old enough, remember such words as selective service, draft board, and draft lottery number. These words were all part of the American vocabulary during the 60's and 70's. Now that the military is dealing with exhausted and stressed troops (The Guardian), there are some people who are talking about bringing back the draft.
Isn't it amazing the mess that the Bush administration has given us----
1.) a war that wasn't necessary
2.) almost 4,000 dead American soldiers and marines
3.) almost 30,000 wounded American military
4.) billions and billions of wasted American money
5.) 190,000 lost weapons in Iraq
6.) an administration that will not take ownership of their mistakes.
Now there is talk of starting a draft. Wouldn't that be a great gift to dump into the lap of the next President?
