Does a bigger Army mean another Iraq?
Every major presidential candidate, including the Democratic front-runners, wants a much bigger Army. But that means an Army expressly designed to fight another war like this one.

  • The Only Way the Presidential Candidates Are Going to Get What They Want

    There is only two ways the Presidentials candidate can realize their ambitious increases in the Army and Marines. One is a full-scale attack on US soil by Islamist militants. The other is bringing back the draft.

    Which candidate will be the first to call for the return of conscription? My guess is, none of them. The American voters will not hear a hint about a draft until the next President is elected. And then what?
