I wonder just whose fault the lack of active duty troops is????

Could it be...... Slick Willy?

Isn't it something that these type of stories have started to show up now that Kerry is anti-war again.

Not a good point. The Great Peace Dividend reduction in active duty forces began under one George Herbert Walker Bush. Billy Jeff "BJ" Clinton just continued the program.

Hmm, lessee... it takes two or three months to run a guy through basic, and maybe another year for him to really get proficient. So who was President fifteen months ago?
