Bush has been unequivocal in his support for the all-volunteer military. I don’t, however, remember Kerry being so adamant about not re-instating the draft. Is it possible that Kerry, not Bush, were he to become President (perish the thought!) be the one to re-instate the draft.
Do you remember the Presidential election in 1964? Goldwater was a Hawk and talked about going into Vietnam and finishing the job. Johnson made Goldwater look like a raving maniac that wanted to start WWIII. However, upon his re-election, it was Johnson the poured thousands of troops into Vietnam.
Kerry, having so vociferously promised to hunt down terrorists wherever they are could actually feel compelled to be more aggressive than Bush. Republicans rarely have to go to war to prove they are tough guys. It’s the pacifistic Democrats that have to prove their war credentials.
Kerry could prove to be more of a war monger that Bush.
The problem is we have not way of truly predicting a Kerry Presidency. All we have is what he says NOW. I think we are all aware of politicians and their allergy to the truth.
