Will He Restart The Draft & Invade Afghanistan? Send GOPPERS & WS's First.

You know we are probably going to go all in on Afghanistan. We cannot lose that war. Of course, I am speculating. In this crazy mess anything is possible. We thought Trump running for president was crazy. And we are still in for a lot more craziness.

Only the US Congress can reinstate the draft, Trump can't do it with an executive order, and the generals can't either!!!

It would be a step backwards. There is no place for short term conscripts in a high tech military. It takes a couple of years of training and experience before they are useful.

Only the US Congress has the power to reinstate the draft, and I don't see any Republicans jumping on that band wagon...especially prior to an election year!

Trump cannot sign an executive order reinstating the draft!

If Congress were to reinstate the draft, especially a year before midterms, it would be a bloodbath like we've never seen before.

Just saying nothing in this crazy mess is too far fetched. How many people would believe that he could.
