Presidential Debate

Where is he suppose to find these people for his new divisions if not from the "Guards and Reserves who are doing double duties"? Perhaps Kerry has secretly acquired the technology to Spaarti cloning cylinders and will grow us an army!

I wanted to point out that the comment that directly followed the two new divisions comment, was the 'I plan on doubling the number of US Special Forces' comment.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I naturally assumed this is what he ment when he said two new divisions. Two divisions from the new doubled special forces. That way we would have two highly trained groups of people who can 'go in and do the job' before we need to call in the reserves or the national guard.

It makes a lot of sense to me. Take the active members of the army, take a group of them and train them to be even better in the hopes that they are more effective, and therefore reduce the possibility of reservists/national guard being used.

Granted this view relies heavily on a lot of inferences, but the comments were made back to back, which does seem to support this theory in some sense.

Off to class, I see Occhi is in the process of replying, I look forward to that post when I finish up the day.

Cheers,
