re: #438 Bear

30,000 more troops. I wonder just how many of those will be front line?
I seam to recall that in WW2 for every 1 in the front line there were 10 behind needed to supply the that one. Any one know if that ratio still holds today?

Probably even higher. Considering the “front line” now consists of things like predator drones, Cruise missiles etc.

It also depends on your definition of “front line.” There’s no clear eastern/western front in this kind of a war.
