Your answer is nonresponsive. As for evidence, you can do your own research; the "privatization" of the military is there for all to see. (Certainly, if you served in Iraq, you saw it for yourself at the mess hall.) Then there's the equipment problem; however Secretary Rumsfeld dismissed that with: "As you know, you have to go to war with the Army you have, not the Army you want." I say good riddance to him and his ilk. I say that if we want a better military, then we need to look to our Republican representatives - dont you agree?
Dems control Congress, THEY decide what will and will not reach the floor for a vote. THEY have claimed they are for increased military and have claimed Bush is against it, yet NO bill has even been proposed and voted on in a committee. It is not a Republican issue it is a Democratic issue. It wouldn't matter right now if EVERY Republican in Congress wanted to increase the military, it depends on the Democrats to happen.
