There is little Army left to fight them and in Iraq too

Umm, only 200,000 are in Iraq, out of a total force of 1.4 million. Saying there's "little left" is a bit disingenuous.

The total size of the Army is around 500k.

There are only 500K plus soldiers in the Army. The 1.4 million is everyone in all the services on active duty. During and right after Desert Storm, there were 910K in the Army alone.
