Either some one is lying( probably) or the entire political leadership , both Congress and the current and last administrations should be held accountable for negligence for allowing our armed forces to whither away to the point where we can't move 30, 000 troops on a moments notice. This is absolutely absurd. Mr. President, if N.Korea crossed the DMZ tomorrow, which they could as you know at any moment, by your timetable for moving these forces the war would be over. Our light forces ( the kind of troops needed) are capable of being wheels up within hours of notification, at least they were when I served. How could our NATO partners have counted on our reinforcements if the Warsaw Pact moved on Western Europe during the cold war with this pathetic movement schedule. This is unacceptable, and a Half Assed way of conducting a military effort.
Exit Strategy, you don't discuss quiting in the middle of a conflict (unless your a democrat), you commit to winning in the effort and only after victory has been secured should an orderly withdrawal be discussed. This reminds me in an abstract way of the following video.
