" So you're talking about another 100,000+ troops"

Not meaning to split hairs here, but division strength approx 15,000, so we we need roughly 60,000; still a big number, and the answer is I don't know.

I think we need them.

I'm from a generation that viewed military service as an almost given, so I'm not sure what would motivate today's youth to join up.

More and or better incentives?

The authorized manning levels don't allow much more than we have active at this point; the first thing would be to allow a force structure authorizing the higher numbers.

So can you figure out why the adminstration is fighting an increase?
