On Thursday, I wrote about how it appeared as if the draft would soon have to be reinstituted. What timing as a story in Newsweek, titled "Could the Draft Come Back," came out yesterday.

A revealing insight:

The possibility of a reviving the draft, says Rep. Duncan Hunter, the California Republican who serves as chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, would only come up should there be a “massive surge requirement” over that demanded by current military operations abroad.

My sense is the massive surge is occurring. I regret to utter: get ready.
