Rod, If I read Raoul correctly, I think he is referring to commitment, not conscription. I hope Viet Nam closed the book on drafts permanently. As a former USMC recruiter I saw no lack of willing quality volunteers. For all the talk (mostly misrepresentation or at least highly inflated) of stop-loss, the truth is most of the Marines I serve with want to stay in as long as there is action.
