My point as well. I think in a couple years that a resurrection of the draft will become necessary. There simply aren't enough soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines to handle all these deployments.

We are handling easily four times the commitments as we did 10 years ago, with a little more than half the bodies. It is simply not sustainable.

People in the administration up to and including President Bush are quick to give reasons for going in, and I can't find fault with a lot of them. But as near as I can tell nobody in the administration has given any thought to how we get back out again and that's what worries me.
