uh-huh, ok.
How many to occupy afghanistan?
DO the math. 50 states in the union. 500,000 man Army. Thats average of10,000 troops per state. At any given time 1/3 are on duty, 1/3 are sleeping. 1/3 doing maintenance etc. 1/3 of 10,000 is 3,333 soldiers on duty to patrol an entire state. LOL. Let’s say each state has 50 counties. That is 66 guys, or an undersized infantry company i.e. 2 platoons, to patrol an entire county. The numbers are not there.
The number there now sure ain't enough.
And that's with a pretty inept opposition.
Multiply by 50, and replace the opposition with those 18,000,000 trained in Operation Deer Hunter.
