more troops are just more targets. That is why the combatant commanders have asked to keep a smaller footprint.
What would you do with more troops? Station a couple in each home?
Where would you get them? get Congress to rescind the cap on troop strength? We are currently cutting thousands in the AF due to that. Then would you re-institute the draft? How would you pay them? A huge tax increase?
