A Renewed Warning of The Coming Draft

Without jumping into conspiracy theories, it looks like a draft is more and more likely. The Republican front runners want to expand the war to other areas, and the Democrats have a large contingent that refuses to cut funding for the war, but would rather hold some Americans hostage to prove a point. I have written about this before. Nobody is talking sense on either side of the aisle. Even Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will be forced to change their tune in the name of "pragmatism" and working to build a coalition. It's a simple fact that too many people make money from the enterprise of war to just call it off.

It's been nearly three years since I wrote this article, but it still holds water. When leading intellectuals like Chomksy are calling for a draft, people should take notice. With a Democratic commander-in-chief, we should all be on high-alert for the military demands which would precipitate a draft.
