“If this "War on Terror" is the "War of this Generation" and Washington is not going to change that mission, then … Washington needs to mobilize this nation through national service (conscription). “To have 1 percent of this nation's citizens bear 100 percent of that burden is morally reprehensible. ‘Support the Troops’ needs to be more than words to the other 99 percent of this nation's citizens.”
I do not like to make comparisons to Vietnam as they are totally different in the fact that Oil is a huge part of the current war. However as with Nam how many of the nations elite have served in the "War on Terror"???
