The Pentagon has extended the length of a tour of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan from 12 months to 15 months, and also a shorter turnaround time after home duty. The unfairness of this new policy is staggering.
There is still a sizable percentage of United States citizens who support the Bush-Cheney war. Why is there no clamor among these folks to re-instate the draft? What better way to "support the troops" than to provide them with more warm bodies to patrol the mean streets of Baghdad?
Do you suppose that the spectre of "the draft" would make more pacifists out of the warmongers? Hey, it's worth a try!
