the military would rather have an all-volunteer force and I think one
shouldn't underestimate the support for the war in Afghanistan in the
US (no hawk myself,  I support our presence there but have
reservations about its execution--we can't over rely on air power and
technology)
could be wrong but my sense is that overall the morale of the troops
in afganistan is still fairly high

no doubt will be a major theme in IV--America is inherently or has
been one major land grab/scam after another.
