TCS: Shut the Window, It’s Getting Drafty

James Joyner | Thursday, March 3, 2005 |
TCS has published the piece I mentioned yesterday, retitling it, “Shut the Window, It’s Getting Drafty.” It explains why calls for re-instating military conscription are misguided.
About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and infant daughter.

We need to reorganize the military to meet todayâs needs. The most obvious step is to disband the Air Force as a separate service and merge its functions back into the Army, where they belong. Strategic bombing was the only mission that required a separate Air Force, and thatâs long gone.
