Just read this one... war sucks and it's even worse when you don't have enough people...

Rumsfeld wants a leaner, meaner military. Women want equal opportunity and equal pay. We the people want top results. The neocons want to control the world. The arms manufacturers want to make more profit. The construction companies want more work.

All these factors will lead to a smaller, deadlier, mixed-sex military comprised of highly trained specialists using high-tech equipment, supported by super high-tech equipment, bolstered more and more with highly-paid mercenaries moving closer to the action and eventually involved in fighting, not just training, intelligence and support. I'm in favor of a move to a mercenary military. The danger will be when the generals decide to make a power play.

And the beat goes on.
