Right. I guess most people don't know that the great majority of the 150(?)000 troops in Iraq hold in their hand nothing more deadly than a pen. Takes a lot of pencilpushers to keep the speartip sharp. The Iraqis now (I'm guess) are dependent on those same guys, so that means they are supplying a total force that approaches 500,000.

Depending on what you consider warriors to be, that 150,000 probably has only about a 10th being actual warriors.
