YOU WANT THIS WAR TO END?
reinstate the draft
Americans will shut it the fuck down quick if a draft is in place.
never fight a war wirthout the draft
its makes it too easy for power to sacrafice lies for already failed policy

I agree that the draft is poison for warmongers. When you and yours have skin in the game, you're not so willing to pull the trigger on military intervention.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

thanks
its seems since Bush refused to reinstate the draft for his ill advised war ( because he knew it menat it would not be allowed to fly by the people) that Americans have forgotten thisnrule of the draft.
If you are not willing to reinstate the draft to do a war then that war is NOT REALLY NESSESARY.
when was the last time America didnt reinstate then draft to declare a war?
lets do a little history lesson
he's an idiot, and he's way off on the numbers. we didn't lose 4k - maybe 2.5k
NATO has done a heroic job sticking with us in Afgh- "Op Resolute Support"
NATO Secretary General welcomes new US South Asia strategy

NATO Allies and partners have already committed to increasing our presence in Afghanistan. NATO currently has over 12,000 troops in the country. In recent weeks, more than fifteen nations have pledged additional contributions to our Resolute Support Mission. We place special emphasis on continuing the development of Afghan Special Forces, Air Forces and improving command and control.

The Average Salary of a U.S. Soldier
Average annual cost of enlisted personel = $29,380 per person.
As an example, the Army website broke down the annual $29,380 compensation of a military police sergeant into $29,380 for salary, $16,164 for housing, $3,900 for food allowances, $1,800 for special pay, and tax advantages of $2,716.
Officer pay is divided into 10 grades, starting from the lowest O-1 and continuing to O-10. For example, as of 2012, the O-1 grade, or second lieutenant, earned $33,941 per year for less than two years of experience, $42,703 annually for four years and $42,703 yearly for six years. The O-3 grade of captain granted yearly wages of $45.256 for less than two years, $60,372 for four years and $63,263 for six years. At O-4, or major, officers made $51,473 annually for less than two years, $64,447 yearly for four years and $68,317 per year for six years.
The ratio of enlisted personel to officers = 3:1.
400k/4 = 100k.
300k enlisted x $29, 380 = $8,814,000,000.00/yr.
100k officers x $50, 000 = $5,000,000,000.00/yr (est.)
Total in personel costs alone = 9,314,000,000.00/yr or just under 9.5 billion per year.
That does not include all of the equipment, construction, housing, transport, fuel, weapons, ammunition, etc, etc, etc.
So maybe double the personnel cost and say $20 billion per year?
That cheap enough for you, annette?
C'MON MAN!!!!
That's the general outline of intentions. Trump did that, too. We're not giving them any exact entrance/exit timeline so the enemy can set their calendars and watches for them to know how long they've got to relax and let their guard down.

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
