Two Years After Saddam's Fall: Is America's All-Volunteer Military Now At Risk?

This Thursday, April 7th marks the two year anniversary of the fall of Saddam Hussein. Phillip Carter and Paul Glastris of The Washington Monthly have written an important piece on Iraq, the U.S. military and the potential of reinstituting the draft. Glastris and Carter write that to remain the world's superpower, the all-volunteer nature of armed forces must be addressed. Glastris and Carter will be joined by Boston Globe military correspondent Bryan Bender and foreign policy expert Steven Clemons to tackle the current and future challenges facing America's military.
