A reduction of personal does very little to "fuck up" your national defense, especially as technology evolves. As our technology becomes more and more advanced we need fewer and fewer personal to run it and as such we should see a continual decline in personal. That's why the US has such high kill:death ratios, our technology rocks and we're needing fewer and fewer personal to use it. The only time that it is necessary to have a huge grunt force is when you go on the offense - like we mistakenly did in Iraq.

I remember when people got upset at Bush for his endorsement of closing 22 major military bases ? ones here in the the United States ? which of course is beyond horrible and will completely destroy our ?national defense?! LMAO
