"The U.S. Army is planning an involuntary mobilization of thousands of reserve troops to maintain adequate force levels in Iraq and Afghanistan," reported Reuters on June 28.

Drawing on the seldom-used Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), composed of soldiers who have completed their active-duty commitments, the involuntary mobilization — which is, in principle, a draft — will involve roughly 5,600 soldiers.

At least one prominent neoconservative war hawk candidly calls for a full-fledged return to conscription.

"The U.S. military is operating at about as high a tempo as it can," commented Frank Gaffney, who served in the Department of Defense under President Reagan. "In short, you may need to move rather more directly and swiftly towards a draft than most of us are prepared to contemplate right now."
