We are at WAR. Everyone knows this. Why, then is the military force being cut? In order to avoid embarrassment for their recruitment failure, the Army propose cutting the National Guard end strength to match the actual number of soldiers it had at the end of 2005. Where are all these REPUBLICANS? Why are they not enlisting droves?

"Under the plan, the authorized troop strength of the Army Reserve would drop from 205,000 -- the current number of slots it is allowed -- to 188,000, the actual number of soldiers it had at the end of 2005. Because of recruiting and other problems, the Army Reserve has been unable to fill its ranks to its authorized level.
Army leaders have said they are taking a similar approach to shrinking the National Guard. They are proposing to cut that force from its authorized level of 350,000 soldiers to 333,000, the actual number now on the rolls."
Funny how PRO military they claims to be, but yet they are the ones cutting the force.
