Well thats good news because a platoon of marines is about all there are here in the states. I guess nobody told this genius that all the military are overseas fighting senseless wars. There are not enough “willing” military in the US to subjagate 3 cities much less go door to door over a continent and try to pick up guns.

It is amazing how math challenged most people are here. Here is another example. The way the Army is set up a division is about 10,000 strong. Sounds formidable but wait, you don't get 10,000 fighting troops. Because of support troops and logistics, you get maybe three fighting regiments of 1,000 per so about 3,000 troops(brigade) with actual rifles to close with the enemy. Now at any given moment one troop is sleeping, one is actually on patrol and the other is training etc. So a division is really 1,000 troops. So I wish these had wringers would DO THE MATH!
