This is what the road to a full blown draft looks like

Bush has given the go ahead to the Marines to forcibly recall thousands of Marines to active duty because there aren't enough volunteers anymore:

The U.S. Marine Corps said Tuesday it has been authorized to recall thousands of Marines to active duty, primarily because of a shortage of volunteers for duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Up to 2,500 Marines will be brought back at any one time, but there is no cap on the total number of Marines who may be forced back into service in the coming years as the military battles the war on terror. The call-ups will begin in the next several months.

This is the first time the Marines have had to use the involuntary recall since the early days of the Iraq combat. The Army has ordered back about 14,000 soldiers since the start of the war.

Well, no wonder people don't volunteer anymore. If the guy in charge of deciding whether to sacrifice your life for a good cause or a fistful of dollars is George 'Carefree' Bush, you better stay away from any recruiting center.

And what's going to happen when Bush finally decides to attack Iran, or Syria? Who's gonna fight in that war?

I'm just relieved that Ray is now beyond the age limit and Danny hasn't reached it yet (and won't for a while).

Fuck Bush's wars.
