If the war expands to Korea and Persia, will there be a draft?

[monkspider]

If by some unforeseen progression of future events, war expands to the other members of the first tier of the axis of evil, Korea and Persia (or at least one of the two), do you think it would be a realistic possibility to see a draft reinstated, and what do you think would be the reprecussions if it were? Would Europe begin rebuilding it's military in response?Would we see Vietnam-level protests (or worse)?, etc.

Persia?

[monkspider]

Yep, Persia.
People need to get back into the habit of calling it Persia, and I'm trying to spearhead the change.

Would we see Vietnam-level protests (or worse)?, etc

Don't you mean "Indochina-level protests"?

[Boris Godunov]

Just so long as we don't have to attack the Chaldeans or Hittites. I draw the line there.

Persia is such a cooler name than Iran, I am just trying to do a public service.

Or imagine if Nippon attacks Formosa!

Actually it would be "Annam-level" or "Dai Viet-level".

Nippon needs to be brought back into the western conscience too.

actually, there would be an attack of the Chaldeans in a matter of weeks.

Nah, the Franks wouldn't start rebuilding its military.

I'm curious about what the Hindustanis and the Israelites might do, personally. And how the gov't of Cheney would react to the invasions.

Well, I wouldn't worry about the Franks or the Israelites - I'd be more worried about what Gog and Magog might do.

(oh come on, someone's gotta know their Biblical prophecy! )

Well, if war expands to Persia and Korea, we'd better avoid drafting, because of already high level of War Weariness. Personally, I would pay a hefty gpt for alliances with the Arabs, the Ottomans and the Indians.
OTOH,I would give Stealth to China so that they themselves conquer Korea (this won't make China much stronger, as Korean cities will be incredibly corrupt, even though they're near of the Forbidden Palace)

[David Floyd]

To answer the question, I suppose a draft is a remote possibility, and if it happens, I'll be out there burning my draft card with probably 80% of the rest of the guys at UT, to say nothing of the rest of Austin. Care to join me, Ramo?

[Ramo]

You can count on it.
