CNN is runnng storiues that troops will stay put
and that we need more forces in country.

Now will not say whether our boys are making a mistake or not, but will point this out... we need three more combat divisions to meet obligations and right now our forces are stretched WAY TOO THIN.

On the bright side, we just may see a Draft before the November election <sarcasm> And yes there are two good things about a Draft, actually three:

Will wake the kids to the reality that politics MATTERS.

Will democratize the country, if well done (not holding my breath here)

Will force our lovely freepers to actually serve, instead of just being cheerleaders (granted this may be a bad idea since some of those people are rather unstable)
