9. The collapse of enlistment is going to take care of our "Iraq problem"
The National Guard is broken. The Reserves are nearly broken, themselves. The Army is not getting enlistees. The only choice Bush* and Rumsfeld are going to have is to cancel discharges and keep sending soldiers back to Iraq for a third, fourth, or fifth deployment. I don't think the Army has the discipline or materiel' to sustain that. They're coming home.

The good thing is we have seen the end of empire.
