The very point I've made more than once.

Yep, when you have all the volunteers who want to go into the military already in the military, and you announce that you ARE going to increase the military, how is that going to happen?

Draft.

In reality, to increase the size of the volunteer military, we will simply lower the standards for those seeking to join. This was necessary in the Reagan era when higher troop levels were needed to win the Cold War. It's necessary now. Anyone who thinks we can win the war on terror with our current troop levels is practicing wishful thinking.
