McCaffrey's AAR called for a 800,000 man active-duty Army. Unrealistic, of course, but there it is. They just approved a 90,000 man (or was it the 74,000?) increase.

All of which is, as Gen. McCaffrey said, persons with drug use histories, moral waivers, low education or mental capacities, etc., who should not be in the Army.

Couple that with a loss of good officers, and I think the recipe is for disaster.

Add in mission creep, legislative "silver bullet" mentality, highly restrictive ROE, and massive contractor capitulation.
