I find it to be an 'about time' thing. I've stated all along that I think more troops are needed. Rumsfield smaller, faster, lighter, cheaper army mentallity is great for taking over the country, and it obviously worked like a charm, but when it comes down to it, smaller faster lighter cheaper has no capability to 'hold' said country, or at least not hold it with any sense of security. In the end, nothing replaces manpower.
I am glad Rumsfield is gone since he was chopping military capability in my book, down to a level that is practically irecoverable from. Its a sad day for many military bases.
