"Your assertions about the Congressman remain specious, nonetheless."
My assertion is that he has not supported such manpower increases in the past, nor has he supported any such manpower increases in connection with his present proposal. That's not "specious." It's merely a statement of fact.
Why don't you show me the legislation he's sponsored to make the US military much bigger in order to meet all of its missions?
I have better things to do today than to talk to you, since you have no intention of listening.
