Yep Iraq was dumb, but we were a volunteer army by then, thanks in part to


Vietnam. You can decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing (personally, I think everybody needs to have skin in the game if we're going to send anybody to war). But nobody was sending draftees to Iraq or Afghanistan, which is one reason that Afghanistan is the longest running war in American history.
