lets not make excuses for our war on the cheap DOD head who made this very "thin" army possible.

I agree.
I have never made excuses for Commander-In-Chief Bill Clinton's massive reduction in our Armed Forces, all done on his watch.

I do recall however that he did it the reduction to save money. Did you get any of it?

Hey, if you are saying we need a stronger military, I'll polish your boots and be your best advocate.

Tell me though, where do we get the soldiers?

Lack of supervision in a military is just not acceptable

Constant and continuous 24/7 supervision of each and every individual in the US Armed Forces cannot be done.

The US Military is a microcosm of our society as a whole. Our military has the same problems as our civilian communities. It always has.
