Re: Anyone who is floating the idea of a draft instead of aligning America's commitments with its interests is no moderate in my book. I presume this is referring to Hagel? I find a candid reference to the necessity for a draft to be a refreshingly honest comment on where the nation is today. As far as "interests" are concerned, I see a huge dichotomy between the special interests of American corporate honchos and that of the nation as a whole. I wince every time I hear people talk about "national interests" because almost invariably, they are referring to the former at the expense of the later.
