Yah so Iraq will prove an effective training ground for terrorists. That's not wholly a bad thing. In order to reverse the regrettable 60's consensus it may be neccessary to believe in enemies that are not strictly real (Leo Strauss). And when we make them so, that's not so bad either. Conscription has drawbacks and the military doesn't like it, but it has a salutary effect on the young. Nay sayers and leftists may call this gambling with the future of the nation, but we all know where their policies led to.
