"I made it very plain. We will not have an all-volunteer army." The crowd fell silent. "WE WILL have an all-volunteer army," Bush said, quickly catching himself. "Let me restate that. We will not have a draft."
So, which is it?
Let's be honest with ourselves. If the current campaign in Iraq cannot be sustained without stop-loss, without activating the IRR, without the so-called "back door draft", then the President is either being dishonest to himself, to us, or to both (does it matter which?) that a draft will not be needed to maintain the force strength.
We hear of various methods being used to keep enlisteds in just a little bit longer. Why do them if the sitch is a-okay?
