Bottom line: the Army needs more active duty troops. With or without the war. The reserves are good people, but they are not cutting it. Resume the draft.

We do not need a drafted army.

I hope that comment needed a sarcasm tag.

Please explain why they are not "cutting it", cite some examples. You have no idea what NG and Reserve forces do.

Time for you and the kids to go home. You're not cutting it.

If you actually served in OIF/OEF I think you'd have to revise your statment. I came away with a much better impression of Guard and Reservists and a much worse impression of one particular service who has a great PR machine.

Bottom line: you don't know what you're talking about.
