#1  Compare wid WAFF.com > CS MONITOR - IS AMERICA's FIGHTING FORCE BIG ENOUGH? Some Analysts warn or advise that Amer's armed forces must becom bigger in order to successfullly fight anticipated INTENSIVE COUNTERINSURGENCY WAR(S) scenarios ala AFGHANISTAN + IRAQ, as well as to SUPPORT WEAK OR UNSTABLE NATIONS FROM DEVOL INTO DE FACTO MILITARY THREATS. WEAK NATIONS, NOT STRONG ONES, ARE THE LIKELY REALISTIC GREATER MILPOL THREAT TO AMER NATIONAL AND GEOPOL INTERESTS. USDOD must be large enuff to support US Policies and Allies, and contain/isolate Hostile or Enemy States, + any in-betweens.
