In response to Military posted by BrianTubbs:

While what you think seems to be correct, our interest, as a nation, is not focused on the idea of efficiency in the sense that you are portraying.
.
The German military under Himmler was an extra efficient force. The worked like clock work.
.
But, our interest looks for efficiency is a different sense.
.
Of course, we want the most highly developed technologically based core of experts to give us the top capabilities that come to us in our postmodern times. But, we need far more than that. Your mind set seems to have been highly influenced by the crack-pot Rumsfeld who almost single handedly has destroyed our military with his stupidity based on such logic as you are expressing.

America's defenses depend on civilian soldiers that represent a broad base of the people being served--not the people being ruled. The more Americans that are trained and ready to respond to the call to service, the better our chances are for success.

We are--once again--finding ourself involved in a war that cannot be won--only lost. That was the case with the first civil war this country experienced, the American War for Independence that we call the American Revolution. The Viet Nam and the Korean experiences were both such wars. America's military leaders knew full well at the end of the Viet Nam experience that we should never again allow our military to fight such a war with out specific goals and objectives with specific strategies in place. But, here we are once again, in such a war right up to our eyeballs.
.
It's time for people like you to let go of your loyalties to the misguided effort in this Iraq War--which is all about attrition. Sooner or later, that war will come to our shores and when it does, you will learn how much folly the ineptitude the Bush Dynasty's present sitting honcho has worked on us. Sad but true. Bush has no goal except his cry for victory and this is a war, like I wrote above, that cannot be won--only lost.
.
Mark my words, there will be NO winners.
