If you call "fear" putting forward Kerry's record of complacency on defense, so be it. The silence on his Senate record re: defense was deafening in the mainstream media.
The Democrats did try to scare the public with the specter of a draft, and obviously your [big]brain[/big] fell for it.
There are a finite number of troops available -- Deep Thought; however following that with "the number available are proving insufficient for the task at hand" is fallacious "logic" even for the [big]brainiac[/big] DNC spinmeisters.
Try to stretch your elastic brain around this -- "number available" is not necessarily equal to "number deployed", and in fact it's not. There are more available (w/o a draft) that can be deployed if and as necessary.
Similarly "proving insufficient" is a conclusion that conveniently ignores successes. It may be proving not to be as fast as you'd like (for whatever reasons...) but "insufficient" is your, not the logical, conclusion.
Points (and I use that term under advisement, in the loosest possible sense) 3 and 4 are more pinhead bombast and add nothing to even the non-Euclidian "logic" of your post.
You're out of your depth on the logic thing; it doesn't mix with hyperbolic, deceitful bile, it only serves to emphasize the bitter nature of it.
However, if you're that sure of your logic, give me $100 to $1 odds that there will be a military conscription draft instituted during the next four years. I'll put up $100 against your $10,000, and you can suggest an impartial party to hold the funds in escrow. Given your level of metaphysical certainty, unbounded by the strictures of logic (and it's the fundamentalist Christians that are loony... right) this is easy money for you. I'll even give you the unforeseeable stuff causing a draft -- China invading the US, Russia going after Alaska ... and all the stuff unrelated to W's vicious, unilateralist, unprovoked, warmongering.
Put your money where your bonghole is.
