Reply #10: NO BS, Kerry has a NO-DRAFT Plan and will use Special Ops, not infantry [View All]

[Dems Will Win]

We can barely carry out the present mission with the current recruitment levels.

1. Agree but Kerry will bring in NATO, Russia and France big-time and we will need many less troops there.

How high do you think our retention rate are going to be with an endless occupation of Iraq and continued military adventurism elsewhere?

2. The question REALLY is how high do you think our retention rate are going to be with reduced occupation of Iraq and the END of military adventurism elsewhere? Plus Kerry will increase the enlistment rate as many are waiting to join but not while Bush is Commander-in-Chief. They will join and re-up for Kerry but not Bush because they know he sees the fight against al-Queda as a Special Ops problem not an infantry problem. And they don't want to die for oil. They do want to serve to protect against OBL and with Kerry in that's what they will be doing.
