Is their going to be a military draft for the war in Afghanistan?
If the administration wishes re-new such a program, it will most likely be for political reasons (a fairness in equal opportunity/and/or responsibilty, as one example). .
Currently, their is no need for such a program; as the global war on terror does not require such actions, for the following rea…sons: .
1. Troop strengths in Afghanistan or Iraq are nowhere near the troop strengths of US past wars. To include equipment such as tanks, artillery, helicopters, jets, and ordnance. .
2. Such past levels of US military men/equipment are no longer needed. Vietnam for example required nearly a thousand bombs dropped from 100 super sonic jets to destroy one bridge, and still couldn't do it (example of a 1965 mission). TODAY's aircraft can do it with one or two UAV's (no pilot at risk of dying, or being taken as a hostage) and using a SMART weapon. .
3. TODAY's military is full of Special Elite Sniper/Commando units, which operate with a fraction of the manpower needed in the 20th century. Every branch of the United States military (Army, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force) has some sort of Special Elite units. These units have more than the capability of terminating terrorists. They are equipped with .50 caliber sniper rifles; they are equipped with NIGHT Vision devices; they are equipped with LASER ranger finders: GPS navigation systems. Just 12 Special Elite Commando Snipers of the US military can perform the mission of a whole Vietnam War battalion of infantrymen (600 men). .
4. If the Commander in Chief uses his "Special Elite Commando" type units and his hi-technology super weapons, then he will have the excellent results that he had when he deployed his SEAL snipers; which terminated some Somalia hi-jackers a few months ago on the high seas. Three shots fired, 3 hi-jackers terminated. Each bullet (cartridge) cost less than $2.00 apiece. (MORE)
