That's the problem. What in the hell are we doing? I am by no means an expert on anything military, but isn't it pretty much common sense that we shouldn't be stretched as thin as we are right now? Doesn't the current state of the world suggest that we shouldn't be all over the place like we are -- so when something DOES happen, we'll be more likely to have the resources to deal with it?
