Reply #53: I'm sorry, you're just wrong.

If you start sending this out to all the thinking Republicans and freepers you know and say that this is proof of the coming Draft they're just going to think you're crazier than they already do.

I saw the title and read this topic with great interest, while I certainly fear a draft I would like to be on the leading edge of people who were absolutely positive that it is coming. This isn't huge. It isn't the smoking gun, sorry. I'm not saying that all these S.O.B.'s shouldn't be watched very closely however, nor am I saying that I see no cause for concern in this latest missive from PNAC.

They repeatedly mention the fiscal cost, a draft is cheap (though politically very costly (until Iran "attacks" us anyway)). What is fiscally costly is all the incentives it will require to get people to sign up and the high pay necessary for a volunteer army.

Where it gets interesting, for me anyway, is how much are they willing to pay and what are they willing to do when (and if) these costly recruitment plans fail to get the results they hope for?
