Draft Cools Wars

The reason the Afghan and Iraq wars have dragged on so long is because there is no draft. The reason there is no draft is because the wars are fought roughly 50% with contractors, most of whom are not American. In other words, Americans are happy to butcher third worlders for oil so long as too many of their own don’t die in the process.
