Actually, many guard units are being deployed to Iraq now. To move on Syria
and Libya, we would probably need to activate all Guard and Reserve units,
if not reinstate the draft.

I believe the US  military is supposed to be capable of engaging in one
major, and one minor conflict at a time. We are probably at that point now
between Afghanistan and Iraq. We may be able to engage in one further minor
conflict, but that would be it. At that point, we would probably not be able
to reinforce areas like South Korea if Kim decided to seek warmer weather in
the south due to a lack of available manpower and/or airlift/sealift
capability. At least that is my uninformed opinion, and vague memories of
military history class in college.
