Now there's an idea worth investigating. I would suggest that they
volunteer. Being a public servant doesn;t make it right to just force you to
pick up and leave the country. With the right financial incentives, they
would volunteer and the overall cost should still be less than the current
combined expense of military operations and the "war on drugs"...which I
personally think to be a worst waste of expense than the war in Iraq by far
since at least something was accomplished.
