We have heard the "fight them over there instead of over here" one two many times. Because "WE" are not all fighting them over there.... reinstate the draft so WE also share the fight and then we can talk.
I certainly support the re instatement of the draft, using different formulas for the actual numbers. It would serve us well, including beyond military readiness.

I just get confused sometimes. We keep discussing history; my preference would be to discuss the current threat, and I join in asking where is the 60 nation coalition in filling the ground troop void. Of course I think I know the answer; Arab nations set a lot of parameters to even join the fight, and thus I really object to even calling it a 60 nation coalition. Mainly, where are they..is the deal that on the ground is USA or nothing ? Of course Iran maintains that the lead the pack.
