#1 Of course, the Democrats in congress will fund and support the increased training needs and equipment supplies...or not. Would be hard for them to justify scrimping on this...heh heh

#2 Just make sure that sensitivity training and global warming awareness programs are part of the training and the dems will be onboard...

#3 I'm all for it tu, excepting that "global warming" won't mean to the SpecOps what "global warming" means to Pelosi, lol!

#4 I seem to recall that there was to be a program to create a kind of Special Forces junior varsity, that could take on assignments that needed SF-type skills, but not as extreme as the SF guys take on. Are they going to be counted in this 17,000 or are they in addition to that? Also, what is that on a percentage basis versus current? Finally, how does that compare, on a percentage basis, to the planned growth of the Armed Forces? I realize that with so many having gone on tour -- and multiple tours -- to Iraq, Afghanistan and other war zones, there will be plenty of troops ready to significantly improve their skills...
