#2 LOL Raj...

It'd be easier to go that route then to try to find 2,500 fighting "men" from Europe. The only men Europe has to offer are already in service.

#3 This is just crap. Rather than invest the 2500 fighting personnel they'll cut themselves short and protract this thing until 2050. Somehow in their minds they'll be saving tons of money.
