NOT ONE Republican who is shouting at PRESIDENT OBAMA that we should go to war with SYRIA has ever served in any branch of the UNITED STATES MILITARY. As a former GI who was drafted into the UNITED STATES ARMY in 1951, I can say without a shred of doubt there is no way we could go to war with SYRIA without reinstating the military draft. Our troops are stretched to the breaking point having fought wars with IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN and only a draft will keep the same troops from going on another tour to fight in SYRIA.

WAR WITH SYRIA???
