My husband was activated (reservist) last year ago and had to leave us for one year. We can't wait for him to come home needless to say. That left me with three kiddies all under 10.

While a draft might be economically difficult, it might be necessary if we are to continue on in this war (a decision which, itself, is debatable). And of course, when you add the cost of a draft to the rest of the costs of war, it starts to create a picture of war as being quite expensive. On a variety of levels.
