pecunium

Fred Kagan, the much touted "expert" claiming we can win the War on Terror, if only some 30,000 troops are added to the mix, for not less than months, is younger than I am.

He thinks this is the defining struggle of the age. It is at least as perilous to the state of things as WW2.

Is he enlisting? No. But he does hope other people will heed his call, that the President will make an impassioned plea for more people to enlist, and that such exhortations will lead to the needed troops enlisting.

For his part, he is more than willing to stay home (like Jonah Goldberg, who at least responded to people who asked him why he wasn't signing up) and make lots of money convincing people to send more troops to Bagdad and al Anbar.
