Michael, let's put the military thing in perspective. Why wouldn't the military, just like corporations, have difficulty filling jobs? Are you saying we need fewer jobs so we have more folks doing military-type jobs? My girlfriend's a headhunter charged with finding senior and mid-level executives. It's very difficult these days. So if this is the case, why wouldn't the military also be having difficulty finding captain level officers? I'm presuming this is the case, since someone alleged this earlier on this thread.

Gore and Clinton have spent and will spend more on the military than Bush Sr. or Jr. The cuts began during Bush Sr's term after it was clear there was much waste due to post Cold War evolution of need. Our military leaders denounced what Bush said about one division not being ready. Cohen our Secretary of Defence is a Republican and had stern words for Bush-Cheney on this. It's a non-issue as Gore is proposing a greater increase than Bush.
