And have even more deficit spending to fund a war that would warrant the return of conscription? A country that relies on death and destruction to survive is a country that will not last long.

Count on Obama starting yet another NATO war before the year's end (Syria/Iran).

You would be amazed how little of the defense budget troop salaries and personal equipment amount to. hundreds of billions go to boondoggle weapons systems and """Spare""" engines for aircraft built in Mr Boehners District that the Air force doesn't want. The draft would take millions off unemployment and we could put them to work on infrastructure
