Won't work. With our all-volunteer military we have now, we are still running short on soldiers for the field. Programs like "Stop-Loss", and extended tours of duty in warzones was the result. Our soldiers are already suffering from long, multiple deployments, and if we had fewer volunteer soldiers, and the draftee's were not to be deployed overseas.... it would only make the problem worse. Then why don't we stop deploying, minus the international US military bases we have, which is considered US territory. Well, for a time there, we had a couple wars going on..... we are down to one now.... more or less.... Quite frankly, I am of the opinion that we shouldn't have been in either country in any event. Iraq was not a threat, and we went to war based on lies, manipulation, and false information. We went to afghanistan ostensibly to get one guy.... but, seemed we enjoyed overthrowing legitimate governments so much, we wanted to do it again. Or, at least, some folks in government wanted to. The US needs to STOP playing at world police. We simply can't afford it, and honestly, we suck at it. Iraq is degenerating into a sectarian civil war..... and once we pull out of Afghanistan, it will go right back to what it was when we left..... with the addition of once again being the worlds largest exporter of opium. That's the problem. It isn't in our interests, whoever if you ask many Iraqis most would say that they are happy that America got involved, and like it better now. However this really shouldn't be our problem. We got enough of our own s*** to shovel. Back to the topic If we didn't get involved as much as we did, I think draft would be pretty damn amazing. I mean look at Switzerland, they pretty much got it right.
