Um... I'm pretty sure this has been happening for a long time now.
First you complain about greater access given to recruiters about students, then you imply local drafts. Well, I hate to break it to you but right now you have it one of two ways. You give recruiters greater access to information (hopefully to produce a higher quality soldier), or they can not keep operational numbers and a draft opens up.
My justification for continued support is this, the good in the end will outnumber the bad. It may seem simple to you, but that's how I see it. Pulling out would rip that country apart and tens of tousands would die as a result. The "continuing stream of reports" is actually pretty good if you listen. The new Iraqi government is all sworn in minus one in the cabinet. While attacks continue, there have been numerous protests AGAINST terrorism in the streets (information given to by a Marine friend fighting there... no papers show those protests though).
My question is, even with all the evidence of Iraq and Afghanistan showing signs of becoming a working, free, and democratic state where they once were among the most brutal regiems.... why do you still oppose it?
