Servicemen Die in Afghanistan

ABC news is reporting now that four American GIs have been killed in Afghanistan.

To quote the Defense Secretary, the War on Terror has only just begun. Unfortunate since so many hundreds of troops have died, along with thousands of civilians, and with so many troops overextended along with reservists and national guard people who were never intended to be deployed for more than a year at a time.

Wherever shall we get the people power? Oh wait. The draft. Likely to be announced two seconds after Bush wins or loses the campaign on November 2nd. For some, the draft has already begun in the form of forced reinstatements to active duty.
