Not to be disrespectful, Shogun, but does the analogy with WWII apply? While the country was much more unified after Pearl Harbor than it is currently, the numbers of deployed military personnel in the various theaters were more than 10-fold higher than our current deployments, weren’t they? Isn’t Desert Storm/Desert Shield a better point of comparison? I believe that was accomplished w/o a draft.
