>Yes. The biggest problem I see, has been the continuous down-sizing of the military over the last few decades. We don't have enough active duty soldiers to get the job done. (boots on the ground) There are enough volunteers waiting in line to join the Army and Marines, but congress has to authorize the increase.

So that is the reason for all the lines of people I saw this morning, volunteers waiting in line to join the Army and Marines. Who would have thought? <s>
