Many Army and Marine professionals disagree with you. To them a force of 400,000 is needed to properly secure the country with a minimum of casualties. Even to the extent that your statement is true and they are saying this, it isn't a direct contradiction of what I said. We have overwhelming force. However overwhelming force doesn't mean you have no problems or even that it might not be useful to have even more force. Overwhelming force means force that can overwhelm anything that tries to stand against it. We have that. Overwelming force doesn't mean a large enough force to throughly occupy and police the country once you have overwhelming anyone who did try to hold their ground against you. Tim
