What shortage when we have other countries fighting for us in gee every conflict we've been in since Vietnam:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3753090.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3984311.stmThis one is most relevant to the troop shortage which isn't as easy as 1000 a year if you plan to invade Korea and Iran while still fighting in Afhganistan & Iraq:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3981307.stm"overall number of jobs in the US has fallen by more than 800,000 since early 2001."
With all these unemployed people there will be plenty of soldiers and jail is for those who don't want to fight even when the draft is out.
Oops Bush didn't hunt and kill all the terrorists good thing he has another 4 years:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3967565.stmDoes the 800+ billion dollar deficit need to be mentioned?
Oh ya
"1 May - Speaking on the deck of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, President Bush declares that the main part of the war in Iraq is over.."
So why would we need more troops or is the main part supposed to be rebuilding because isn't that what is important?
