The Military Draft

Donald Rumsfeld says if you ask him personally what he thinks about any forthcoming draft, he rules it out. But what about professionally--in his capacity as Secretary of Defense? Does he rule it out then?

What I like about Donald Rumsfeld is he is a politician's politician. In other words, he says a lot about obvious things, gives away little, and for the most part says few offensive things prima facie. When asked about the status of Osama bin Laden over a year ago (I think the hunt is basically over given our military is focused in Iraq--not Afghanistan or Pakistan--where most intelligence officials think he is), Rumsfeld replied he's either alive or he's dead. Duh.

There are many signs that the draft is just around the corner. I have been saying this for over a year now and it hasn't happened. But I never expected it to happen unless we had a George W. Bush 2nd term as President. That is the least of our worries, of course. To be more precise, the least of MY worries since I'm ineligible for the draft. My genes are finally coming in handy!

The next President of the United States (POTUS) will have 3--maybe 4--Supreme Court justice appointments. That will have an incredible affect on our society for the next two generations. The choice for the next POTUS is obvious. But if you need help deciding, I'll make it easy. Just click here and give a few dollars. Then do something fun and poltical.
