this is mission accomplished, could you imagine if the mission was not accomplished.

please just follow the terms of service set out by yahoo rihan and answer the question, perhaps you can ask that question yourself in yahoo answers! i do not want to have to report you.

excellent answer porkrod, i had not seen it that way, but perhaps with enough propaganda, people will become " convinced " they should be fighting and accept the draft

Answer 1

Because the military is stressed out--and we've lost the war in Iraq to the Shiite militias and the Sunni insurgency.

They need more meat for the grinder. :0(

Answer 2

I am fine with this. Drawing on my Navy experience from 1969 to 1972, a draft seems reasonable and also a way to indirectly hold our leaders accountable. If one REALLY wants to fight for a faction in a territorial civil war, lets have a draft and demand some real sacrifice. But then the future Cheney's will still have higher priorities and the future Bushes can go AWOL from their national guard units.
Still I am for it. Lets make the nation bear the responsibility and costs for these wars for oil.

Answer 3

I believe the U.S. needs the draft...now days our young have no direction...I was 18 in 1969...I was 105 in the lottery so I joined the Navy...My preference...as a adolescent I had 2 choices...Military or College...these days the kids have play station or the hood...the Mexicans are taking all the jobs our young once took...jobs needed by kids to build a back bone. Yes we need a draft...the military will give what this country really needs...qualified leaders for the next generation...

Answer 4

It takes 2/3 majority in the House of Representatives to approve reinstating the draft. They will never do it because none of them would ever be elected by their districts again. That law is the perfect deterrent for drafting Americans to fight a foreign war.

Answer 5

A draft will not be needed unless a real war should come along and then it's just maybe. This little fight in iraq is no war and it is certainly not imperialistic. The US has never fought an imperialistic war. You seem to be just another silly muslim and I have a very low regard for muslims.

Answer 6

I think America would never accept a draft especially for an unpopular war such as this one.If they drafted people into service I believe that there would be many more casualties and that American would crucify those who allowed that kind of tragedy to occur.

Answer 7

We the two would desire to withdraw from Iraq or carry returned the Draft. that is that straightforward. the famous US militia became into under no circumstances designed for prolonged occupations. with the aid of fact the previous due '70's, doctrine has been, "circulate rapid, Hit complicated, enable the locals mop up." The occupation of Iraq with the militia we've is destroying our militia potential. workers and kit are donning out as prevalent formations are on their fourth prolonged excursions in 5 years, and guard and Reserve contraptions are on their 0.33 excursions. Even the rosiest estimates run to 10 extra years to stabilize the interior reach government, and spiritual wars have a tendency to run one hundred years or extra. we can desire a steady furnish of unpolluted troops somewhat quickly and purely the Draft can try this. of course, shall we choose a President who knows the thank you to apply the militia we've--or is a minimum of keen to take heed to expert infantrymen. Pull out of Iraq, rebuild our forces and use them to furnish rapid decisive help to interior reach governments and Revolts. combat the warfare for the long haul somewhat of risking each thing on one dropping conflict. yet that is "Defeatism."

Answer 8

down with the totalitarians, we should never have been in Iraq in the 1st place, it is all a means to an end, for something much more important than the media is letting on. I am exiting the service and very glad, what I see coming is an inevitable downfall. It has all been written.

Answer 9

First off..."imperialistic war"...grow up.

Second, a few people say look at the draft. Doesn't mean it will be taken into account. There are always people calling for the draft.

Answer 10

There are some good reasons to oppose what we
are doing in Iraq, cost, loss of life and fuzzy goals
now that WMD has not been found. But, the naiveté
of labeling this conflict imperialistic demonstrates a
child-like grasp of foreign policy.
