if the military is tasked with:
fighting a war in afghanistan...
fighting a war in iraq
prosecuting a massive drug interdiction campaign in south america
maintaining a forward operating presence in europe and asia
providing tsunami relief across the pacific
being on-call to defend homeland targets
defending embassies and american interests abroad
being a major component of ALL united nations operations
composing a majority of all NATO forces
etc.

i believe we could drop several of these things, tsunami relief has everyone else in the world helping, it can afford to not have us still be there
we dont need to continue to fight the drug war down south, that is an easy easy fix.
I Dont want to go to iraq, however if drafted ill go and ill fight my damnedest because even if i dont want to be there, i might as well try to stay alive and keep soldiers around me alive to improve all our chances.
For the unfairness in draftees/dodging i think capitalism has a big part in that and i for one hate it, to me its just taking advantage of other people.
