IF the USA does at some point decide to do a bigger war with boots on the ground - then it MUST be with a mandatory DRAFT?
We need to see the very rich who pull all the strings in our government send THEIR kids to all these wars in the middle east!
I feel these wars would end very quickly because they are really about price manipulation of oil- not 10,000 guys with black bags on their heads!
We are NOW an exporter of oil - so the competition now for lowest price is against the Middle East. Every time we lower our price- Saudi Arabia and others lower their to out do us.
What better way then a man made phoney conflict to keep prices high? It is working really well- just look at Wall Street in the past few days!

What makes you think a draft would be needed for US ground forces to fight ISIS? The US had forces in both Iraq AND Afghanistan at the same time fighting wars and didn't need a draft.
The only war that had anything to do with oil was the Gulf War of 1991 and that was to keep Saddam Hussein from rolling over Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to control 1/3 of the world oil reserver. Oil is a COMMODITY. It's price is effected by the quality of worldwide supply or by perceived threats to that supply.
You buy into flawed images of oil pricing as well as an outdated image of the Vietnam era draft, where the rich could keep their kids out of the war with college loopholes and such.
Understand how the world really works, not to outdated images that simply resonate with what you want to believe. The people you listen to for your information are more than happy to milk that for all it's worth. What else are they wrong about?

There is NO scenario under which the Pentagon wants a draft instituted or a call up for a small local issue.
No one but fear mongers believes that the Middle east ISIS will lead to a draft call up
