Shenseki's concerns clearly have been vindicated with the present day situations in Iraq and Afganistan. Current military leadership has repeatedly warned that our volunteer military is stretched dangerously thin and that enlistment of new recruits is well short of the mark to simply sustain current numbers. It was recently stated by another military source that we can't expect to be out of Iraq within the next eight years.

A question I would like to add to Host's list is can we continue this administration's military policy? I don't believe we can.

If these issues are accurate, the most important thing I believe we should be looking at is how the administration intends to withdraw from Iraq and Afganistan, if at all. Information of that kind has not been forthcoming.
