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

[hatrack]

75. I'd support invading Iran, Syria and Iraq (again) if the following conditions were met:

1. Return to the draft - all men under 35 are eligible for active-duty service, all men and women 35-55 are eligible for Stateside reserve service. No exceptions or exemptions, except for physical disability, single-parent or CO status.

2. All physically qualified children and grandchildren of current or former members of Congress, current or former presidents and cabinet secretaries, and current or former Chief Justices will receive draft lottery numbers of 50 or lower - the same rule would apply to state legislatures, governors and court systems.

3. Top marginal tax rates go to 95%; elimination of the carried interest deduction; American-domiciled corporations holding offshore assets have two choices - return all assets to the United States to be subject to federal taxation, or face dissolution of their corporate charters. Elimination of the SS tax cap.

4. Establish an active-duty military force of fifteen million, with an additional fifteen million in the reserves or National Guard.

5. Contingency planning for occupation of Iran and other Mideastern nations for at least 50 years, with concomitant permanent conversion to a planned and centralized war economy.

6. Gasoline rationing, and conversion of all civilian vehicle production to military production.

Come on, folks, let's face it - given the awful, terrible, horrible, mortal, pathological DANGER posed to all of us RIGHT NOW by ISIS and IRAN, and AL-QAEDA - with our national survival at stake, we must mobilize every asset, and on a long-term basis.

No more pretty, shiny TV war on the cheap - if these arrogant, stupid cocksuckers want to invade Syria, invade Iran, re-invade Iraq, everybody gets an invitation to the sandbox party. Everybody.
