What I mean is that it is dependent upon whether another sovereign nation (as opposed to a secret far-flung group), forces us into conflict by an act of war against us. As for how many we can fight at the same time, that is obviously a factor of the size of the theater and the forces arrayed against us. Our stratgeic SOP up until Clinton was to have enough forces on hand to fight two full scale WWII type theaters at once. This is now no longer possible, therefore we wouldn't commit to conflicts that size unless forced to. And if we were FORCED to, you would find plenty of people ready to serve their country, even if you aren't.
