<<the fact that we have an extremely effective all-volunteer army>>
AHHHHMMMMUUM... You mean the fact that we can be in Iraq for the next XX number of years as a police force, with increasing difficulties and increasing deaths of American troops. ??? You mean that we can enact a draft when new enlistments fall below a certain level, and or keep existing troops there indefinitely for 1, 2, or 3 regular rotations ??
You mean that we can continue to increase the reenlistment bonus and death benefits to our troops.

Hey boss, dont forget we marched through the entire European Continent in the same time we are futzing in Iraq. !!!!!!

If you really believe we are "extremely effective" you dont know history.
