	If the war expands to Korea and Persia, will there be a draft? Remove this text

If by some unforeseen progression of future events, war expands to the other members of the first tier of the axis of evil, Korea and Persia (or at least one of the two), do you think it would be a realistic possibility to see a draft reinstated, and what do you think would be the reprecussions if it were? Would Europe begin rebuilding it's military in response?Would we see Vietnam-level protests (or worse)?, etc.

Persia?

Yep, Persia.
People need to get back into the habit of calling it Persia, and I'm trying to spearhead the change.

Don't you mean "Indochina-level protests"?

Just so long as we don't have to attack the Chaldeans or Hittites. I draw the line there.

Persia is such a cooler name than Iran, I am just trying to do a public service.

Actually it would be "Annam-level" or "Dai Viet-level".

Nippon needs to be brought back into the western conscience too.

Nah, the Franks wouldn't start rebuilding its military.

I'm curious about what the Hindustanis and the Israelites might do, personally. And how the gov't of Cheney would react to the invasions.

Well, I wouldn't worry about the Franks or the Israelites - I'd be more worried about what Gog and Magog might do.

(oh come on, someone's gotta know their Biblical prophecy! )

Well, if war expands to Persia and Korea, we'd better avoid drafting, because of already high level of War Weariness. Personally, I would pay a hefty gpt for alliances with the Arabs, the Ottomans and the Indians.
OTOH,I would give Stealth to China so that they themselves conquer Korea (this won't make China much stronger, as Korean cities will be incredibly corrupt, even though they're near of the Forbidden Palace)

To answer the question, I suppose a draft is a remote possibility, and if it happens, I'll be out there burning my draft card with probably 80% of the rest of the guys at UT, to say nothing of the rest of Austin. Care to join me, Ramo?

We'd have to draw the US flag on the draft cards first.

Well, I doubt public opinion in The North American Colonies would allow such a three-front war, at least without a League of Nations mandate. For this war Viceroy Bush has the support of several key European powers, including the Saxons and the Etruscans, but I can't see such support extended to a large-scale, insane war against three kingdoms at once.

god bless monkspider for saying Persia instead of Iran - without that this humor would have never begun!
I'm interested in the ramifications of an extension of conflict in Rhodesia and the subcontinent, however. That's what bothers me.

So long as the Ottoman Empire supports us, we will have a free hand in dealing with Babylon and Persia.

I think korea should be called Koryo(?) or whatever it is before white people screwed it up and mispronounced it.

Also, as spiffor said, war weariness is running rampant and the koreans have the hwa'cha, and in addition, Persians have the immortal, but my foreign advisor tells me that they both are afraid of our F-15.

If they instate a draft, I have a feeling there will be riots everywhere. NYC isn't going to sit quietly. No way in hell I'm gonna throw away my life by being sent to fight a stupid, unprovoked war in Mesopotamia.
