Col. Wilkerson: If Americans Want Ground Forces To Fight ISIS, Let's Have A Draft

66. Then, let's just leave ISIS alone

We can't defeat a movement like ISIS from the air. We pretty much learned that lesson in Vietnam -- and again in Afghanistan. If you think we can, then you don't understand the working of a caliphate.

Once a caliphate is established (and there are conditions for this) then all devout Muslims are required to support it. Now, some Muslims may consider themselves devout and not support it, but caliphate leaders would say they were apostates and can be killed.

Killing off members of the caliphate is counterproductive. They believe that in their battle against the forces of evil, most of them will be killed. When they are down to 10 percent, the Mahdi (their Messiah) will appear and defeat the infidels. All the caliphate members go to heaven. It's kind of like the Christian rapture nonsense. So, killing off ISIS members from the air is proving that they are doing Allah's work and it encourages them -- and motivates people from all over the world to go join them.

The only way to defeat the caliphate is to deny it land. Land is a requirement. If it has no land, the caliphate ends. Right now, ISIS has land -- some of it desolate desert, some of it major cities -- and as long as it does, it endures. The only way to deny it land is to have boots on the ground. It's sad to say, but just dropping planeloads and droneloads of bombs can't do the job.

So, if we want to put boots on the ground, let's have a draft. Draft people in this order:

NRA members
Militia members
Open-carry advocates
White supremacists
Anyone flying a Confederate flag

(I realize there's probably a lot of overlap here, but it's a start.

Then:

Tea Partiers
Republicans in general
Members of Congress

You get the point. The draft would end within 24 hours.
