I think a better plan would have been to transfer our existing troops from other bases (we have approx. 750 bases worldwide). Regulars should be more experienced and better trained than part time soldiers. Use the Reserves and National Guard to take the place of those transferred to middle east duty, then cycle other reserve groups into and out of that loop. Leave the fighting/logistics to the pros.
Do we need more military or do we better deploy the ones we now have?
Now that Kerry has offered a list, he'll have a chance to provide us with some details in the coming weeks before the election. There was only so much time to elucidate. He only had an hour to complete his speech before prime time TV schedules threatened to pre-empt his speech. I wonder what was on last night that was so important.
