BUT,

On the other hand, we really are only one major deployment away from "not enough troops". How else to explain the recent "stop-loss" policy, where a bunch of reservists don't get to come home as planned, or the decision to move troops from both S Korea and Europe.

So if, for example, the Chineese invaded Taiwan tomorrow... who are we going to send?

Glad to be an old bastard...

Ummm, that is not gonna happen. There is no oil in Taiwan. And the US already pulled a bunch of troops out of Taiwan.
