I was at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City over the weekend. I met a military reservist there who was trained in counter-insurgency in the Marines. So his job is to train others in counter-insurgency in Iraq. He says the draft will be back next year.
When he was in the Marines full time his group rescued the Navy Seals in Panama when they were shot up very badly. He was in Kosovo ready to rescue that Air Force pilot, Scott Specter, who was shot down and he performed many intelligence missions which gave him grey hair. Now he is a Real Estate agent in Central Jersey. As a reservist he has been asked to train the troops in how to handle a counter-insurgency in Iraq. He spent three months over there doing that and has been asked to return in one year to train new recruits WHO WILL HAVE JOINED BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN DRAFTED.
.
He says this will happend because the two years that the reserves will be in service will have expired and we all know that at least half of the American troops in Iraq are the Guard and reservists. So, even though the military's top brass is denying that there will be a draft they are planning for one.
