So for the military to recruit more truck drivers, it has to downsize some other critical skill area (which then has to be contracted out to a "war profiteer" corporation. Why can't all the people in the military bands become truck drivers? We don't need bands.

Hawkmoon, now you're resorting to personal attacks because you've lost all of your arguments. READ, COMPREHEND, THINK and then post. I have no problem if Ted Koppel reads the names of everyone killed on 9/11. Do you have a problem if he reads the names of all Iraqis killed during this inane war? I've given you the answer to the force limitation. You're making an inane argument because you've lost the debate. Rumsfeld and Chalabi both publicly say they weren't for invasion. Chalabi, the Bushies hand picked Saddam replacement, says he was for the CLINTON ILA, not invasion. You've lost. Your side has lost. When things are done for the wrong reasons and based on a PACK OF LIES, it's only a matter of time before even the rats turn against it.

Hi Hawkmoon; Re: " ... Unfortunately, the helicopter was still 200 feet above the ground and [he] plummeted to his death. But what was special is that Stars and Stripes posted one of his last emails to his family written just prior to his deployment, within which, he urged his family to understand how honored he felt to be engaged in serving his country in Iraq. And that should he die, he urged them to do nothing that would undermine his beliefs in the necessity of conducting this war against Islamic Militants." I wonder what he was thinking about the war during those last three seconds. -- Carl
