George Bush said he wanted to increase the size of the U. S. Armed Forces in an interview with the Washington Post.
We should support our president by implementing a draft with no exemptions except for those incapable of serving due to physical or mental incapacity.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Bush said he has instructed newly sworn-in Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates to report back to him with a plan to increase ground forces. The president gave no estimates about how many troops may be added but indicated that he agreed with suggestions in the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill that the current military is stretched too thin to cope with the demands placed on it.
Bush to Expand Size of Military - washingtonpost.com.
We can support our president and stop wars, except in the most dire situations. All we have to do is stratify the draft so equal numbers of people from across the economic spectrum are drafted.
Simply divide the population into 10 ranges based on family net worth and then draft 10% of the troop requirement from each range. So, if we need 1,000,000 draftees next year 10% or 100,000 will be drafted from the lowest range (bottom 10% in net worth) and 100,000 would come from the top range (top 10% in net worth).
Of course this won't work if the upper ranges put greed ahead of the lives of their children.
