So, if Blotus gets his WAR on and the ground troops are off to Syria

[PearliePoo2]

and the entire thing escalates to one big shit-show (again), are there enough troops on hand or will there be a draft?

1. Actually, his boss doesn't want him anywhere near Syria. How he'll sell Iran's invasion to POTUS

Putin is another matter.

2. I just saw the Army recruiting bus at my kids' high school yesterday

So they're out drumming up business. I'm wondering if the boys that drove their pickups to school with huge Trump/Pence flags in the bed of the truck signed up. Something tells me no. Seems like a lot of Trump supporters are fine with other people getting killed for war, just not themselves.

3. We didn't have a draft in Iraq/Afghanistan; we won't have a draft in Syria...

...massive ground troop wars aren't particularly practical these days.

More likely, he'd pull the NATO troops out of Western Europe (don't need to worry about Russia, right?)

5. Any war with Iran will

Require a draft.

6. Does that idiot realize that he can't go into Syria

Without Iran tacitly approving? If he slaps Iran in the mouth, our 6,000 troops in Iraq get immediately put in mortal danger (more danger than they now face), because Trump turn Shias against us.

7. You are trying to apply logic to the thinking of a madman
