There are 1.5 million in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines and 1.3 million in the guard and reserves. There are also millions more who have left the service but could be recalled if needed. Also recruiters are turning away more than they accept and of those who are accepted some have to be put on a waiting list every year once recruiting goals for the year have been met. Then consider the fact that there are only 130,000+ troops in Iraq and it's pretty clear that a draft is nowhere near being necessary.
