What are you suggesting? That all the reserves be folded into active-duty?

That the regular military have enough stand-alone capability that we don't need to call upon reservists for essential support any time we want to actually use the regulars. The present system cynically exploits employers to carry the cost of supporting the support troops 'between' wars and injures the reservists by turning them into 'problem' employees.
