Anybody who seriously threatens us while our conventional military is "bogged down" forgets how many nuclear weapons we have.

Iraq and Afghanistan today have 12.5% of our military tied up. Just 12.5%. That doesn't sound to me as though we're stretched too thin. The Navy and Air Force are almost non-existent over there today, leaving them free to maneuver if necessary.

Besides, it is the Air Force and Navy which are the first used in any emergency or projection of power. The regular Army and Marines are long term assets. General Myers is an Army general - of course he's concerned about the long-term effects of this conflict on the Army.

Not a surprise to anyone currently serving. Beside the border issues and illegal immigration, military recruitment, retention & readiness needs to be addressed now.

Our liberal and leftist friends already can't deal with Iraq. Another war would send them over the edge. Correction, would send them further over the edge.

I just reckon that We will need to handle whatever gets dumped on Our plate. Sometimes, likely now, the only option left is to do, or, to die!
I really wish We would get beyond this childish little level, and cut to the damned chase.
This forum is credited, and condemned, as the last refuge of radical, conservative freemen.
If I could ever believe this to be true, I sure would sleep a lot easier.
If We ever, ever, get back to the point where freedom is no longer an issuue, I promise You that I will switch over to defending Your Fookin bottom lines.
REPUBLICAN has diddly squat to do with anything less than Liberty. You cannot buy Liberty, no more than You can own it.
As I get older, it becomes harder to distunguish the libs from those who would live free. Someone must be sending the wrong signals.
Many years ago , I raised enough Hell within the system, that little
Brother Jeb actually returned My call, one Saturday morning. I reckon that Jeb forgot about all My thougts, just as soon as political correctness would allow it.
I am a REPUBLICAN, because I absolutely must live Free.
Nothing less will do!
All You FatCats,, never, ever believe that there is any price, on this old Rednecks Freedom!
Time is to shut up, lest anyone begin to suspect that I am some kind of a rightwing radical. The last damned impression I want to leave is that, Like Hell!
Some of Y'all seem to have a "loose cannon" on Your hands, can You deal with it?

Oh, I think they can handle another problem -- if they're allowed to END it quickly and launch a few "tactical weapons"....

Deterrents don't seem to deter -- unless you show you're willing to use them..

Semper Fi

Could the US military handle another war?

Another "conventional" war? Maybe. A "total war" for survival of our country? A definite, "Yes."
