It is going to take far more than a 10% increase just to maintain current strength.

If Kerry gets elected, I expect our military forces to
re-examine their motivation and head for the door.

I believe any expectation that America's Armed Forces will voluntarily stand behind the man who:

would have denied them every piece of fighting equipment they have;
Voted to send them in harm's way and once they arrived, voted to refuse them the ammo and safety gear they needed to fight and survive;
Singlehandedly destroyed the morale of 3 million veterans in the 1970s;
Has been working to destroy our current Forces morale for the past several months:

is a terribly wrong expectation.

The military polls project by a 4:1 margin who our servicemembers are willing to follow. It is time to listen to them.

Remember you heard this from me first.
The only way John Kerry will be able to maintain our present low military strength is to get the Democrats who initiated the draft legislation (earlier this year) to do it again...and then beg to get it passed.
The only way Kerry will be able to add 40,000 troops is to crank up that draft to an even higher level.

If you don't believe that...Go look in the mirror and ask yourself which young members of your family would you counsel to join John Kerry's Army.

When you have that answer, there is one thing you can do. Attend marksmanship classes.
