I'm not trying to imply that service men and women have it better under a Republican, I'm just stating avery general fact (and I have friends/family to verify that perspective, too ).

We'd have the numbers it would take to control a hotbed like Iraq with our eyes closed, and without a back-door draft. We'd have the numbers to send real aid to places like Rwanda. The Army Corps of Engineers would be massive, not some dinky 35,000-member troupe. And when those who were in school finished -- like Helm said -- we'd have a volume of educated individuals getting real-life experience working for the government before entering the workforce.
I think that'd be great, but I don't think it would make Americand vote the way you think they should. :P
