If there was to be another Iraq or Or Similar conflict anywhere in the world we as a country would be expected to send and support that situation as a world power, cutting our force by 10,000 troops that’s nearly 10 full Infantry Battalions Yes Nearly 10 at 600 Hundred personnel per Battalion how can we sustain that loss when the world is so unstable.
