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.
"And I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table..."
President Nixon abolished the draft in 1973. Restoring it, Lute said, would be a "major policy shift" and Bush has made it clear that he doesn't think it's necessary.
Remember what neocon wardrum-beater Rumsfeld said "You go to war with the army you have.", and Bush went for it, apparently with the ideas to use the army he had, and if it got used up, go get another one.
So now, bush has a brand-new highly polished and shiny new war advisor(wardrum-beater) that is advising for the draft.
... or else. Surprise, surprise. Note flags.
