Thanks...Hopefully, Congress and DoD are keeping a good watch on this as well. Do you think that perhaps they are just hoping the enlistment will be able to stay at least tolerable...and wait to institute the draft till "if and when" we are attacked again.... Actually, don't know if you are just a party of one. I don't know of anyone that really wants the draft, and doubt you do either. The problem is do we want to anticipate the problem, or do we want to do a WWII-like "oh, oh...folks, we've got a problem here...." I believe we have a very real enlistment crisis that is being managed by Congress and DOD using smoke and mirrors to hide the problem. I also know, so far, I am a minority of one here, so I'll just keep posting the numbers and let everyone decide for themselves.
