That's why Bush has cut their pay and benefits?
It's just easier to draft people than to entice them with better pay and benefits.
It's also allot easier than trying to get a vast coalition of allied troops to join you.
Bush likes things easy, seeing as he thinks "being President is hard"! dunce
Not having enough troops on the ground to secure Iraq immediately after major battle operations ended is the major reason Iraq is in such turmoil today.
The vast majority of US soldier deaths have occurred after Bush declared major battle operations over.
Poor planning, bad leadership and as a result more soldiers have died than should've.
Yeah, talk about trying to minimize causalities! 🙄
