Military Buildup

We are hearing a lot in the last few days about how horrible it has been that President Clinton has let the military gone to hell over the last few years (I wish I was kidding).

I thought that it might be instructive to ask the "we need a bigger military" crowd where exactly they think that we will get more folks to staff this bigger military. Personally I think that the only realistic way is the return of mandatory national service. Yes folks, they are calling for the draft but they are too gutless to admit it.

Halfway through writing this I saw that Steve Benen has said a lot of good stuff about what I was going to say. And since I am lazy, go read his stuff instead.
