Uncle Sam wants US Muslims to Serve

The Pentagon builds Islamic prayer rooms and hires imams to make armed life more appealing. An fundamental goal is to interest more Muslims in the military, which needs officers and troops who can speak Arabic and other relevant languages and understand the culture of places like Iraq and Afghanistan. The effort is also part of a superior outreach. Pentagon officials say they are striving for joint comprehension with Muslims at home and abroad and to win their support for US war aims.

Looks like the United States is in need of militant officers again. Jeez, I hope we aren't going to see another draft. I hate to plug this Vietnam thing but come on now. The United States and George W. Bush need to get a grip on what needs to be done in Iraq. I don't want to see another draft, do you?
