I would have them vote to send a surge of soldiers to Afghanistan, and volunteer to be a part of that surge.
Sometimes I think I really like Starship Trooper model. In the novel, people don't get the privileges and rights of citizen ship unless they have proven their willingness to put the only significant thing they have, their life, on the line in military service. Then you get to vote on policy. Until then, you are a member of society but not a citizen.
