According to 2008 levels, we have roughly 1.5 mil people on military reserve alone, along with 1.4 mil active, . So if we wanted to really get down and dirty and wanted to play very serious, we could send up to a million troops,And replace them with what/who when their tour is over? That number includes people on ships, subs and other specialties that are not conducive to a military occupation and counterinsurgency. Do you really want Seaman Snooky, the sub radioman or Ensign Snuffy, the ship nuclear reactor maintanence officer conducting foot patrols in Kandahar? Your 1.5 million number is meaningless if it cannot be used for the specific mission that we are discussing. We tried that in Vietnam. it didn't work. |
