We have nowhere near two million Soldiers and Marines. By the end of this administration, we’ll have to rent the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to guard Arlington.
This was an interesting stat, so I just had to look it up.
Looks like we're about 3/4 million active ground force (Army/Marines.) Total active military force of around 1.4 million. "Fit for duty" population of about 120 million.
True enough today, but the US mobilized 4 million men over the course of WWII.
Our error was letting Canada fight Nazis for two years before we entered, and recognizing the Vichy-French (Nazis) instead of DeGaulle's Free-France-in-Britain-exile.
IOW, the Ron Paul foreign policyif you can call that "a policy".
