Another question, uw....What about the 'smart' weapons being designed and used today with fewer soldiers supposedly needed to handle them? Does that work for other Services, but not the Army?

Do any of the Services have soldiers who do KP and latrine duty any more like they did in WWI and II? If not, how are those jobs done today? Are they all contractors? If so, what is going to happen with the Dems proposal to curb if not stop the Services from hiring contractors?

It's really hard to know, from the little info that we see in the papers these days. Do you know of an online resource where we could go and look up some of these things ourselves, and send the links to others?

That would be 2.8 million from a population base of 300 million.
In contrast, we needed 8 million in uniform from a population base of 200 million to prevail in WWII.
