Uncle George Wants You!

Phillip Carter thinks President Bush, in the tradition of Lincoln and Churchill (why never the more plausible traditions of Woodrow Wilson and LBJ?). "President Bush's second inaugural address, with its vision of America's mission to spread freedom, offers a good platform for a recruiting pitch . . . A presidential recruiting speech may not fill every barracks, nor will it induce every old soldier to sign on for another tour, but it would help remind potential soldiers of what we're fighting for."

Heck I think the President should pose for recruiting posters, Lord Kitchener style to display at those Young Americas Foundation conventions; although I assume that the Supreme Court would nix the "God" part.
