not many people like going to the army. While recruitment isn't too low. We would be kinda F*cked up with the war in Iraq + this, and with another nuclear threat that is possible with Iran, sh*t could happen. They might have to do the draft, have to bring a whole lot of people to that fight if it were to happen over there.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (SirLaker @ Jul 21 2007, 11:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Why would a draft HAVE to occur?</div>We have nowhere near the number of troops to effectively declare a war on Iran without a draft. Iraq is all we can handle and the military is getting no new signups right now. We'd either have to use nuclear weapons or have a draft.
We don't nessicarily need the troops, we'd only need the troops if the US planned to invade Iran. if the US only wanted to bomb the living hell out of Iran than there would be no need for a draft. One of the few Military polocies of Bill Clinton I support is the so called Clinton doctrine, which is basically usuing air superiority to desimate you're enemies. if the US launched simulantius Air and Naval bombardments of Iran, Iran would likely copitulate very quickly. With persision weaponary collateral damage would be very low, unless the airforce intentionally doesn't want it that way like in Serbia.
but the after effects if an attack like this happened would be much worse. Totally not worth the money and effort. Bombing them wouldn't take them out, there would be international outcry over the innocents killed in this so called run.
TEHRAN, Iran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday Iran would never yield to international pressure to suspend its uranium enrichment work.?Iran will never abandon its peaceful (nuclear) work,? Ahmadinejad told state television. ?Our nuclear work is legal and why should we stop it??Iran says its nuclear program is meant to generate electricity so it can export more of its oil wealth ? not to make bombs, as Western powers suspect after years of Iranian secrecy and evasions.
Kind of off-topic, but it's kind of F'ed up that I can't go there anymore to see my family at this age because I may not be able to come back and they'll send me to their army. So my only chance of seeing my grandparents ever again would be if they come here. I'm definitely not taking the chance of not coming back.
