What's the future of the US military?
Who would want to enlist after the Iraq debacle?

Are our best and brightest going to look elsewhere after the US has sent their comrades to die in a no-win, honorless war? Are we going to have to resort to a peacetime draft to maintain sufficient numbers?

Would like to hear from DU vets.

4. Either the military is downsized or it will destroy the US economy
Edited on Fri Apr-09-04 01:21 PM by Capt_Nemo
since those that could downsize it are in deep denial about the
unaffordability of US military ambitions I think you will get the later.
