JayJay,

What is the connection between supporting Republicans and lack of basic math skills?

Lets take you silly assumption about 50,000 troops, which would be non combatants according to Obama's stated plan as accurate.

Lets say that he moves 50,000 to afghanistan instead of his stated 12,000.

The surge peak was 140,000, that leaves 40,000 troops who can stay home and rest and would not require a draft.

Realistic numbers 20,000 in Iraq total, 20,000 more in Afghanistan and the reserves and National guard come home and take care of business at home, leaving nearly 100,000 troops to rest.

On the other hand. He could get a serious increase in volunteers if he shows a serious attitude towards getting Bin Laden and a sane attitude toward Iraq.
