I am with Peetster on this one.
We are a long way from a draft, but I think the military needs to adjust, we need more on the tip of the spear and less behind it. The logistics tail behind a fighting division is huge. The support troops (often doing jobs that could be handled by contractors, etc.) out number the front line troops like 11 to 1.
