Bill Moyers: Bring back the draft
Another voice preferable to Limbaugh.
"An Afghan villager recently told a correspondent for the 'Economist:' 'We need security. But the Americans are just making trouble for us. They cannot bring peace, not if they stay for 50 years.'"
"Listen, too, to Andrew Bacevich, the long-time professional soldier, graduate of West Point, veteran of Vietnam, and now a respected scholar of military and foreign affairs, who was on this program a year ago. He recently told "The Christian Science Monitor," 'The notion that fixing Afghanistan will somehow drive a stake through the heart of jihadism is wrong. …If we give General McChrystal everything he wants, the jihadist threat will still exist.'"
"If our governing class wants more war, let's not allow them to fight it with young men and women who sign up because they don't have jobs here at home, or can't afford college or health care for their families."
"Let's share the sacrifice. Spread the suffering. Let's bring back the draft."
