Stop/Loss Keeps Ranks Full [More draft rhetoric]

[Scooter24]

This year, $26.1 million will be spent by the Selective Service System to track 13.5 million potential soldiers.

But don't worry guys, you won't get a call anytime soon.

In this country, we don't do draft very well.

The draft is a political profanity rarely uttered in the halls of the Pentagon since its abolition in 1973. It's a staple of the foreign policy menu, but ordering it could cause bloating, diarrhea and an irreversible case of voter's revenge.

Instead, what we do is "stop/loss."
