Feeling A Draft

SOMEONE MUST HAVE LEFT A WINDOW OPEN<\/p>\n
FOR I FEEL A SLIGHT DRAFT COMIN ON.<\/p>\n
WAR HAS BECOME OUR NATIONAL PASTIME<\/p>\n
BUT WE`RE RUNNING OUT OF SOLDIERS<\/p>\n
TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE HOT SPOTS.<\/p>\n
TOO MANY CELLS OF INSURGENTS ON THE LOOSE<\/p>\n
WE SMASH EM HERE AND THEY POP UP THERE.<\/p>\n
WE`VE GOT THE BIGGEST AND BEST GUNS IN THE WORLD<\/p>\n
BUT THEY`RE JUST NOT DOING THE JOB<\/p>\n
WE`RE GONNA NEED MORE SOLDIERS<\/p>\n
TO HOLD DOWN OUR TENOUS POSITIONS.<\/p>\n
IT WASN`T SUPPOSE TO BE THIS WAY<\/p>\n
IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A CAKE WALK.<\/p>\n
NOW AFTER TWO YEARS WE STILL CAN`T CLAIM VICTORY<\/p>\n
AND THAT AGAINST A VERY WEAK NATION<\/p>\n
WITH NO WMD`S<\/p>\n
LET`S OPEN UP THE WINDOW REAL WIDE<\/p>\n
AND LET THE DRAFT ON IN<\/p>\n
SO THAT EVERYBODY,<\/p>\n
EVERY YOUNG MAN AND EVERY YOUNG WOMAN<\/p>\n
CAN FEEL THE BREEZE.<\/p>\n
WAR IS HELL<\/p>\n
AND IT`S TIME FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW THE PRICE<\/p>\n
OF GOING TO BATTLE ON A FLIMSY EXCUSE.<\/p>\n
LET`S NOT JUST LEAVE IT TO THOSE FROM THE HOOD<\/p>\n
AND WHITE KIDS FROM APPALACHIA<\/p>\n
LET`S SPREAD OUR EMPLOYMENT AND OUR LOVE OF WAR<\/p>\n
TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD.<\/p>\n
MAYBE THEN,<\/p>\n
MAYBE THEN, AND ONLY THEN<\/p>\n
WILL WE CEASE VIEWING WAR AS THE LATEST FLIK<\/p>\n
OUT OF HOLLYWOOD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
