Some probably would be willing to enlist...the problem is, how useful would 
they really be if they don't speak English.  A lot of illegals don't...or at 
least not well enough to be all that useful.  You can only assign so many to 
kitchen and latrine duty.  Then there is also the question of security risk, 
i.e., the illegal might be from someplace in the Middle East.

We should have left Iraq as soon as we got Sadaam....they can't really be 
much of a problem to us if they're busy killing each other.

God forbid we should get into another conflict somewhere else, i.e., Korea. 
I only hope Bush would be impeached before it got that far.
