"army stretched thin" and other hard to believe statements.. [View All]

[Postman]

Just how large, in manpower, is the US Army?

How many Divisions are deployed or sitting in far off places around the globe that haven't been used in Iraq?

Surely there must be plenty of Divisions in Korea, Europe, the Pacific Islands, the continental US and other unknown corners of the earth that the US has seen fit to occupy that they could send to Iraq to relieve those soldiers on their umpteenth tour of duty...

How is it there is this huge Federal Budget allocated for the Pentagon that cuts into each citizens lives by denying them subsidized healthcare yet we are hearing the trite bromide of "the army is stretched to the breaking point"...
