24. we are deliberately circumventing a call for a military draft by using these contractors
If we called for American citizens to do the job, we would not be in a war. The RWingers would refuse to go.

It's time we went back to the old way of doing things. If Americans don't want to fight and die for a war, we shouldn't go. If we don't have enough American troops to do the job, we don't get involved and we scale down our commitments.
