An Afghanistan Surge?

Then there is going to be a draft, kids!

I'll bet Afghanistan is the first place you would like to go
:

A 'surge' for Afghanistan?

"Commandant Gen. James Conway's plan, if approved, would deploy a large contingent of marines to Afghanistan, perhaps as early as next year. The reinforcements would be used to fight the Taliban, which US officials concede is now defending its territory more effectively against allied and Afghan forces.

Conway says that marines, who have been largely responsible for calming Anbar Province in Iraq, can either return home or "stay plugged into the fight" by essentially redeploying to Afghanistan."

So rather than come home, they are going to send the troop "cuts" to Afghanistan?

Help!!!!
