In 1991 the military was twice the size it is now, across a smaller population base. Why can't we double the size of the military w/o a draft?

There was an article on CNN a few week ago that the Army missed their recruiting goals for a third months in a row.

The military in 1991 already existed at that size, we need 1.2 million troops more than we have to follow US Army standard deployment schedule, and get troops level to the recommended levels. We aren't going to get those from volunteers.

Good -- that means you can find it and post it.

Army Meets Yearly Recruiting Goal

Associated Press | September 22, 2006
WASHINGTON - The Army is ending its best recruiting year since 1997 and expecting similar success in 2007, despite the weight of grim war news from Iraq, Army Secretary Francis Harvey said.

Wow this is funny.First off Charles Rangel is not to bright there.He isan't going to bring back the draft.All he cares about is prooving the point that people who are for the war won't fight in it or something.It's even funnier that it's not working.Yeah guys lets send all the Republicans....because we onbiously auto-hate going because we support it.They just interviwed Rangel on FoxNews and he charmingly dodged the reporters questions like lots of Dems. on that channel vow to themselves before they're on air to do.He was almoist as bad as Kerry last night "Senator Kerry, why didn't you apologize right away" "Chris...I think the issue we need to stay on is how we're going to deal with Iraq" just answer the damn question sheesh is that too hard for you guys to do?!

And here is Rangel saying that he wants to bring back the draft but also wants to pull out of Iraq.Smart hypocrtical idea.He'll bash the president but then defend him like it's his brother when Chavez verbally assualted Bush.He's just another hyprocritical Dem. that's too old to be in Congress and unfortunately he has to be from my state.

you're right, im trying to lie to decieve you, ahahaha...

***

the articles I mentioned were older than I thought, my mistake.

We had an army that size becauze we built it up over years. We don't have that now, and we cant get it back in time. Especially during a time of war.

The kid won't be back to this thread. Once proven a liar, he always disappears.

A lie requires an intent to decieve. For instance, claiming to know someone was lying when you didn't know...

Rangel is a race baiter and a bigot. This is just another move to turn the public against the war.

The majority of people are against the war now... which is credited with the Democratic victory in the recent election. I don't think Rangel thinks he is turning anybody against the war, those that still support it by now, probably always will.

Yep, which is why we should get the military out as soon as possible and then hunker down. The Dems have won the war against the war on the homefront. Without the support of the country it is pointless to leave our military in harms way. Now we face the consequences of thier irresponsible rhetoric.

He didn't just start this business, he has contributed to the demoralization of the country and our losing our resolve to win.
