One journal entry (with link!) about an article concerning prison time.
One link about banning gay authors...?
One about... oh, hey, is that a draft I hear on the horizon?
One on yet another cigar scandal.
One on clouds. Now we know why the threat level was elevated....
This could be good news.

And that's it.

If recruiting continues to come up short, there will be renewed talk of reactivating the draft, which would roil the country and, ultimately, produce a less-effective military than the all-volunteer force. Unfortunately, what recruiters most need to offer they simply can't: an exit strategy for Iraq and prospects for a decisive victory in the war against terrorism.

I disagree.

What recruiters need to offer, and can't, is the assurance that soldiers won't be used as cannon-fodder to line the Bush/Cheney Oil Company's silken pockets while simultaneously having their, and their family's benefits slashed because they aren't important enough.

Good point. There are many people who would be willing to risk their lives for a good cause. But they need to be assured it's a good cause and their lives won't be thrown away cheaply.
