A draft makes sense. Just think of all the leftists running north after they find out Uncle Sam doesn't issue coloring books and play doh. That means my country would have less leftists although I don't think Canada would appreciate having a wave of illegals coming in.
I seem to recall 50,000 AMericans soldiers DYING IN VAIN in Viet Nam. What did the Viet Nam war get us? Did it prevent North Viet Nam from overtaking the south?
They took it anyway. It was inevitable. We can't stay their forever, and as soon as we leave, they swoop in.
This is the same thing in the middle east. If we leave, the Taliban, ISIS, etc, will swoop in and take over. And all of those who died there will they died in vain.
IN fact, it is inevitable their deaths will be in vain, because we can't stay in the middle east forever. The whole pitch was "we'll stay until the ally's defenses are strong enough to defend themselves". But, they are inept, they'll never reach that point or it might take another 50 years. and who has the patience for that?
Trump plays on emotions, he does not play strategically. As soon as he attacked Iran, took out #2 guy, what did Trump do?
He tweeted A rasmussen poll that shows him at 50%.
Donald J. Trump on Twitter: "… "
That's what it is about for Trump, he'll sell America down the river if it means a temporary boost in ratings.
The stupidity of the right knows no bounds.
