A draft wouldn't win this war. Osama had stated that that there were three places that he wanted to draw the US in. Afghanistan, Sudan, and Iraq. He figured that having the "far emeny in these three places would drain the US monetarily. And it is working.
To keep throwing bodies in a place that doesn't want us there is stupid, there is no sense to it. AThe money we have spent throwing at useless ideas couldd be better spent in having aerospace and automotive engineers come up with a military vehicle that can hover over the road to avoid roadside bombs, Think like the hovership in "The Matrix". I'm sure Lockheed Martin, Boeing, or GM could be competitive and come up with something. Just like Jeep did back in the 40's when the US was having problems with transport and support vehicles during WWII.
Since this is unconventional war and the enemy is using unconventional methods, it's time we stop thinking like we are in the 20th century. Hell, even the transport helicopters that the Marines use are from the 1960's. Does anyone here still drive a car on the regular from the 1960's. No, I don't think so.
I'm not going anywhere until the US Military start spending money on upgrading the the military to 21st century standards, not some "go to the war with the army you have, not the army you want". What type of junk-yard scavaging idea is that.
