Here's a hypothisis that may not be too far off of being a possibility: Mixing it up with Iran could be an opening gambit for generating new interest in a draft. This would improve the unemployment situation, provide an expansion of our pillar industries... the DOD and thus inject a fresh avenue for cash flow into a tanked economy. A large enough incurrsion with Iran (which is good for business) and those in favor of such a scheme, would immediately start reviving interest in a draft due to our military being stretched so thin that we we no longer have the resources to put "boots on the ground" in Iran. Currently the contracted mercenaries out number our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan almost three to one, at more than 10 times the cost we spend on our troops, equipment and logistics. If we're gong to have any teeth at all to show Iran,...we need troops. If we want to curb unemployment we need jobs. And if we want to improve the economy quickly, war or a police action has always proved effective for us to this end.
Just a theory. And one I'm sure is being discussed behind closed gov't doors, given that scads of options are likely being considered there. Winter is coming on in America, be sure to avoid the draft.
