Scaleability is the answer.

"Timely" scaleability used to be the answer.

When we eliminated the draft, we eliminated that capability.

Kerry's plan to add 40,000 troops is the equivalent of two full combat divisions. It will take at least 5 years to procure the equipment. I have no idea where he plans to find the people. We are certainly not turning away 40,000 qualified recruits this year.
