Reply #49: Right now to activate the draft would take 8 months. In 2004 they are [View All]

going to spend $28 million EXTRA to be ready to activate in 75 days from March 31, 2005. In addition, because of long deployments, fully half the troops now deployed are not re-enlisting, meaning that upwards of 30,000 National Guard and an unknown number of Army currently under arms would become civilians again at the exact time Cheney's PNAC plan calls for the U.S. to hold onto the Iraqi oil and take what they can of the rest of the oil fields.
