I understand that a large percentage of troops are dedicated to supply and logistics. However, we have two hundred thousand troops in a combat zone and that's only a fraction of the troops we have.

well, it's not a matter of why we have euro deployments, rochard, my (the) point is there are euro deployments, there are homeland deployments, there are deployments across the globe. the logistics that support an invasion of iran are staggering- we don't have the resources available over the next weeks or months to support a u.s. invasion of iran without drawdowns elsewhere. and it's simply not a fact that the military supply chain is outsourced.
we don't need to stop the russians?
