And as for your repeated figure of putting 16 million into "uniform"..let's break that down a bit:
1)That number is not 16 million at ONE time..it was over a course of several years!
2)Because you are in "uniform" does not mean you are on the front lines fighting. Well over HALF of that number were purely support personnel..with most of them stationed in the U.S.
But again, you're point of going back to WWII is totally irrelevant to today's conflicts. And I notice you even left out the Koren War (where the best we could do was a "draw"), Vietnam..where we lost.
To say we put 16 million in uniform back in the '40s does not equate to front line invasion, conquering, and occupying several Muslim countries TODAY.

get a grip dopey, we have the money and firepower to bomb any and all muslim nations who decide they want to hate us back to the stone age (granted, its a short trip)
how about explaining how this big bad muslim force is going to land on our beaches?
Its no longer about the number of people in your military, its about your technology.
welcome to the 21st century
