I think the lack of people willing to enlist has less to do with the justification behind the war and more to do with the open-ended nature of it. We have already seen numerous soldiers have their tours extended well beyond what they were told. Each extra day they are there is one more day that they may get blown up. Would you sign up for that sort of thing?
As an aside, I look at musician job listings on the net quite frequently. Recently, ads have been popping up all over them stating that the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, are desperately seeking musicians. All ya gotta do is join up! Something tells me that the only instrument these guys will be playing is an M16.
