Can you say backdoor draft?

The U.S. Marine Corps said Tuesday it has been authorized to recall thousands of Marines to active duty, primarily because of a shortage of volunteers for duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Up to 2,500 Marines will be brought back at any one time, but there is no cap on the total number of Marines who may be forced back into service in the coming years as the military battles the war on terror. The call-ups will begin in the next several months.

Just watch how fast the poll numbers decline in support of the Iraq war after this latest atrocity.

I think that the military is going to start talking out against this war en masse.

Usually the Commander in Chief can rely on the support of the military but I really believe those days are coming to an end for this administration.
