US troops are dying in Afghanistan because there aren't enough troops to support them?

Question

This is a statement from the Joint Chief of Staff. Is this equivalent to a criminal act of murder each time one of our brave soldiers die because they don't have enough troops to continue the mission?

A volunteer military is the best option, but if we can't get enough volunteers there are few options....Pull the troops out of harms way or start a draft.

Are you ready for your sons and daughters to be drafted, since not enough are volunteering to keep our military viable?

Rumsfeld

Answer 2

We can not afford to fight a war of poor strategical logic. This is what has been happening because no one can relate to the enemy. Their fierce atitudes are not easy to relate to and they have a more disciplined method of attack...We need to look at the situation and go forward to fight it strategically as a war is fought or leave. Bad management is not an option this is not a stock merger  I believe you have a point....What about a petition to the house of representatives signed with this as the point... We need to make a point....within the structure of the goverrnment and logically speaking you may have hit this nail on the head........

Answer 3

There won't be a draft
