In These Times

Our nation is finessing the issue of fielding an Army/Navy/Air Force, taking advantage of it's 'volunteers' by invoking emergency clauses in contracts when it can't meet manpower requirements through it's established procedures. While I have no doubt that the military establishment is doing everything in it's power to meet the mission, I wonder if the political establishment would be able to make up the missions if they had to deal with voters who might actually be sent to this, or any other, war.
