More to be thankful for

Max Boot is thankful for our all-volunteer armed forces. So am I. I’m also thankful that the Democratic scare tactic of claiming that President Bush plans to bring back the draft didn’t carry the day. Boot’s article reminds us how much better off we are with all-volunteers, and thus demonstrates the implausibility of the Democrats’ claim.
