If Israel starts a war in Iran, then America will most likely get involved as well. It could mean that the nation would be in three simultaneous wars...
Could it be that a military strike on iran through israel would constitute reason enough to push through compulsory military service after high school?

The previous depression was ended with the start of WWII and offcourse the military draft had a big part to play in bringing the economy back up. With unemployment predicted to hit 10%, this could be a way out of dire economic straits.
