There is no doubt in my mind out military is being stretched thin.
We need to get our military up in strength. Increase at least 50% of where we are now....
Especially more SF troops, and then troops trained to stabilzie/peace keep.
These are the new missions, and we have to be prepaired for them.

Mike, I agree with you completely on this one BUT ... this buildup and emphasis on special forces and wizz-bang toys CANNOT come at the expense of conventional (so-called "Heavy") forces.
But I have to admit - I find it mildly amusing to read a Republican talking about training the U.S. military for peacekeeping duties. What a concept ...
