Weren't we supposed to be building robotic type weapons and use in place of humans where we could....? If we have more of all the companies you say we don't have enough of....won't more and more of our military folks be killed?

How many more of these companies do we need?

I'm thinking of the future here...With 50% of the country anti-war what is the answer for the future?

(most of the Democrats to hear them tell the story, are anti-war and anti-draft).....

Where is the draft to come from? And how do we get good people from the draft, when 50% of them would go kicking and screaming? How many of those who would be drafted would be druggies or otherwise addicted to some substance? How many of them would have even graduated from HS or would be even capable of graduating from HS? Would they be smart enough to even be in the kitchen in our new Military? How many would be able to speak and understand English?

Do we just build bigger and bigger bombs and use them instead of trying to fight with the human military?

We do not have enough Army.

The Flags we have didn't want to do the followup. They were working under a "take em out and get out" philosophy. They acted like it was WWII Germany and Japan and South Korea.

The only problem with adding all of the "Sys Admin" type of battalions now is that we will NEVER try to occupy another Arab Country after this experience.
