The American Foreign Legion?

That's what George Wilson calls our volunteer army. Wilson argues that a draft is needed in order to give the people the ability to pass judgment on whether or not we should go to war. He points out that Congress has abdicated that responsibility. Unless we people directly experience the effects of our wars, it is very unlikely that we will say "no" to our leaders when they decide to straighten out some nation.
