Probability of the draft being reinstated is fairly low. Today's warfare is less reliant on manpower than the past and growing more so.

True, but in a global world war, I would think it would be necessary.

The military is currently turning away many qualified applicants. They have to look for reasons to disqualify people right now.

Based on liveleak videos, there was no gas attack and it makes no sense for Assad to launch one into a town already re-taken from FSA.

I hate to ask, but are you retarded? Because that was the stupidest shit I have ever read in my fucking life. I mean to even start a 1/2

It's everything to do with competing natural gas pipelines running through Syria from Qatar and Iran
Beeseik
Are you actually unaware of the two gas pipelines running through Syria?
TheFeralDog
What does that have to do with this bombing?
Beeseik
Ousting Assad's regime has multiple strategic effects that would favor the west. Denying Russia their pipeline is one of them.

The other is destabilizing an organized sovereign nation adjacent to Israel. This has nothing to do with human rights. This is a power play.
