LEAKED: Obama to Draft Republican Surge Supporters to Fight in Afghanistan

Washington, D.C. - Leaked parts of Obama's West Point Speech show the President preparing for a draft of willing Americans that support. The speech, according to an unnamed source, was recently revised when the President heard a stirring argument in support of an immediate surge from Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona.

The argument by Kyl, spoken during a Fox News interview, called for an immediate surge rather than a phased deployment like Vietnam.


"Let's don't have talk of a phased deployment," Kyl said. "We'll send a few troops immediately, and then we'll see what happens, see how it plays out, maybe send some more. That's kind of reminiscent of Vietnam. That escalation, that slow escalation didn't work there. You need to put in everybody you can as quickly as you can and deliver a knockout punch to the enemy."

In the speech, without naming Kyl, Obama references the change.

"I came to this institution to say that any of you could be expected to serve in Afghanistan in the coming years as the escalation occurs, but now only those who graduate this year will likely see combat. Certain members of Congress have opened my eyes to the need for a knockout punch. There are thousands of Americans that have written to say they support an immediate, ballsy, take-no-bullshit surge. My message to those Americans is I have heard you, I know where you are coming from and where you live, and I have signed an executive order drafting you all to serve the purpose you have so much passion for. I say welcome to the Army, soldiers!"

Young supporters of war, like Jason Mattera of Young America's Foundation, have said that drafting people like them will drain resources from the Culture War raging closer to home. In an earlier interview with Chris Matthews Mattera spoke of the importance of his role in fighting the culture war at home.



Local College Republican leader Archie Burman said that, like Mattera, he has enlisted to fight the battle of ideas.

"Their are battlefields of blood and sweat, where people risk life and limb, but back at home we have another battlefield, of the mind. I've seen the best conservative minds of my generation destroyed by liberal madness, intellectually starving, their frail arguments laid naked, dragging themselves through the ivied halls for an angry fix of Glenn Beck. I've seen men who's bruised egos are more deserving of purple hearts than John Kerry, the ones who fell in battle and became "moderates" or "independents". I've seen the horror of the culture war, Don't tell me I'm a coward," Burman said, tearing up in remembrance of his fallen comrades.
