re: #125 Kragar

Where/how this makes sense: decrease number of Army divisions, since you’re asking for rapid reaction force.

Other issues - meeting recruitment goals to expand the fighting force of extraordinary magnitude isn’t nearly as easy as calling up Dr. Klaw and saying you need a bunch of guys who can fight.

You need properly conditioned/trained forces, the equipment for those forces, and a place to put them.

That’s all at a time when the Defense Dept is actually trying to get Congress to go through another BRAC round because of surplus locations and need to control costs.

Marines v. US Army for ground forces is a tradeoff - size, scope, personnel needs, and heavy armor vs light/rapid armor deployment.

Clearly, Trump doesn’t get any of this, and will simply let the generals sort this out.
