Just reinstate the draft.  I think it is safe to say that many of the Iraq war supporters who wave their flags from the comfort of their homes will be singing a different tune when they, their children, or their grand children are compelled to serve over there.  Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel has been pushing a draft for years, but now one of Bush’s advisers says that we should “consider” bringing back the draft.  Personally I don’t believe that governments should make military service compulsory and I wouldn’t support such a policy shift.
