Today, the US military is basically at the same strength levels as the United States was a 1941 even with the peacetime draft. National Guard and Army Reserve were called up and the draft was extended from one year to two and a half years which could have caused mutiny but luckily it didn't. The active-duty should appreciate the reserve component because you never know what may happen next week in North Korea, the South China Sea , Eastern Europe or in the Middle East with the Rogue Iranian regime threatening our Navy.

It is in black and white as an attachment and I that article is Way better than this one. It is very hard to read and I can't zoom in.

The problem is that the equipment can only be held together with bubble gum and bailing wire for so long- then it needs to be replaced. When I was in, we were still working with equipment from the '60s, tents are one thing, jets are completely different! IMO we have the obligation and responsibility to give our service members the tools they need to not only be successful, but stay alive.
