Draft Proposal

B.J., over at StoutDemBlog found a great proposal at The Nation for overcoming our military manpower shortfall.

The bill, explicitly requiring people who have never been in combat to serve in the wars they start, would affect thousands of neoconservatives in Washington and New York. It was strongly opposed by the Bush Administration on the grounds that it would leave most of the Administration's upper-level positions vacant, including the presidency and vice-presidency, but it was left unattended on President Bush's desk and he inadvertently signed it after deciding it looked too long and too hard to read first.

What a great idea; I only wish I'd thought of it.
