Sorry, that is how the Army works.
Btw, do you finally understand the concept of odds, or do you need further instruction?
Have to disagree, Mr. Poobah. Since British soldiers conveniently lined up wearing bright red coats our military has and continues to modify itself to conform to the requirements of an ever-fluid reality. They are nearly unrecognizable from the forces that carried off the Gulf War over a decade ago, just as the hidebound tactics of Vietnam were anethema to those in Schwarzkopf's era. Accomplishing what they did after Clinton spent eight years gutting their resources proved that our military can overcome almost anything.
The National Guard and Reserves are not being utilized as intended, anyway. They are shoring up a personnel shortage that would not be occurring if our all-volunteer military was paid and treated as it deserves. On that front the liberal Democrat establishment can count it's "victory" one body-bag at a time, as I consider every casualty due to another soldier not being there to cover a back.
