1. Not military.

2. Right now the enlistee age limit is 39 and women are also allowed therefore that should carry over into a general draft.

3. If you think that an economy like ours is driven solely by supply and demand, then your thinking is simplistic and inaccurate.

4. War is not a corporate project, it is a serious undertaking by the entire country. It is immoral to place most of the risk and burden on a small segment of society.

If war were a corporate project, as Bush et al would like it to be, then we would simply expand our mercenary base at 100K-200K each. We could even hire foreigners to fight for us then we would be almost completely disconnected from reality except when the tremendous bills came due.

We would then have lost our way completely and become USA, Inc. AKA the nightmare of FascistAmerica.
