Vote For Kodos - Mano a Mano Round 2
My favorite part of the presidential race is the Democratic accusation of a secret draft plan for the theoretical second Bush term, at the same time that Senator Kerry promises to expand the United States Army by two full divisions. So, President Bush will keep the Army at the same size, but will need a draft to fill the ranks. Senator Kerry will expand the Army, yet somehow will fill these extra berths through volunteerism. Um... what?

Now, that said, it is not necessarily a bad idea to try to expand the Army. I love the Air Force, but the War on Terror requires lots and lots of boots on the ground. Expanding the Army and the Marines, and minorly trimming the Navy and the Air Force, is probably a good idea.
