US Army Characterized as "Thin Green Line"

This story is important because whether the report is accepted or not publicly by the government for what it says, eventually any shortfall in the supply of troops to fight for whatever reasons for the United States or its perceived interests will have to be "augmented" in a "cost-effective" manner. Anyone who still thinks that the draft is not on the table, think again. Note the results for the poll associated with the article, too. As of this writing, "Bring back the draft" is neck-and-neck for the lead among the responses.

So what does this story have to do with men's rights or interests directly as such, you ask? Well, suppose men and women would be drafted in proportion to their population and sent into combat also in proportion? Not any time soon.
