Beginning with President Bush Senior and followed thru by President Clinton the military was cut by approximately half. The Army currently has only 10 active Combat Divisions and the Marine Corp has 3 active Combat Divisions (really only two as one is mostly a paper Division). A Combat Division is normally some where around 15 thousand strong with a reinforced Division being around 20,000 strong.
Using the larger number the U.S. only has...at max... 240,000 active duty combat troops...thus there is no way in hell that Combat Troops need to be cut.
