Your omitting one little detail, he wants a lighter (meaning smaller) more flexible force. Lighter just doesnt work. How many places are we commited at now? |
He should have pulled 38,000 out of South Korea and put them on the Iranian border. The combined forces in Spain, Germany, Italy, Britain, and Japan (something near 20,000 total) on the Syrian border. You go to war with the army you've got. And you tell all those "host" countries that they can either back us, or deal with their own foreign policies.
The guy should have pushed for re-deployment, just as Bush should have done.
