I've just had a discussion about the numbers. Active duty forces according to DOD 1.4 million. At a hearing in front of the Armed Services Committee Rumsfeld said that we have 2.5 Military Personnel. If I can find the links again to back this up I'll post them.

Thank you "Pieces". Please post that link if you find it. I would be most gracious. I am arguing with a bunch of whinny butt liberals at a emulation site .

I am tired of their rhetoric on the Bush draft subject that they just keep defending even with liberal sources proving them wrong.

On September 23, 2004 Rumsfeld was before the Armed Services Committee and was asked by two Republican Senators about the draft. That's where he speaks of the 2.5 million came from.
About the fifth paragraph down it gives the figure of 2.5 million. Still haven't found the link for 1.4 million.
