President Bush never asked millions of Americans to sacrifice. Instead, he sent a small percentage of the population to fight and die in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he asked these troops, and their families and loved ones, to bear the burden. If we really have a compelling reason to be in Afghanistan, then President Obama ought to present that case and ask all Americans to participate in some way. A military draft might be part of that solution. If staying in Afghanistan is indeed a compelling mission, then I believe Americans will respond to the call. If it is not, then I think Americans will let President Obama know that it is past time to end the war in Afghanistan and focus on priorities, domestic and foreign, that really do implicate our core national interests.
