Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog » Late Nite FDL: Do You Feel a Draft in Here?: "Well, it's come down to this, as we knew it would. We're finding out who the real patriots are, simply by invoking the 'D' word. That's right. The Draft.
The military has been operating a back-door draft for a couple of years, now, extending tours of duty, telling troops and their families that they'll be coming home and then, oopsa-daisy! We're going to need you to stay in Iraq for another 14 months, soldier! The Preznint and his 'men' (or more precisely, his father's men) are still trying to figure out what in the hell they're going to do about this mess they've made of Mesopotamia. You don't mind, do you? Your kids and parents and family don't mind, either, do they? That waiting up and worrying and dreading a call from the DoD that you'll be coming home in a box, well, that just brings excitement to the lives of your loved ones! They thrill with every late-night phone call, ecstatic to know that any day, the call could come that you've given your life in service to George Bush and the NeoCons' dreams of world conquest! What an honor! What a thrill!
Soon, everybody can play!..."
