Yeah, they'll knock out the air force, then the air defenses (SAMs and AAA)...pound them enough so you could fly across that country in a Cessena. B-52's are a little big unless you're carpet bombing troop positions....rubble and debris create more headaches (In World War II, a German Airborne divison at this monastry turned into a pile of rubble turned into an even better defensive location) as ambushes, mines, booby traps, etc.. are a ta easier to disguise. Sniper's playground. I'm digressing. A draft would provoke the Vietnam generation, especially those anti-draft groups. The Vietnam generation also is the majority that Bush is trying to appeal to them to support him but they also have flashbacks to their own experience.
