Well, that point was brought up today at the conference. The wars which have faced the most criticism are ones where the burden has been spread among a majority of Americans. Right now, every effort has been made to insulate the American public from the true cost of the war. The debt is being charged to the future and there is no draft.
Any further overextension of our military would require a draft which would be the death knell of the Republican majority.
