Since the day after September 11, I’ve been saying we need more troops. Powerful Washington Post Op-Eds over the holiday weekend by John McCain and Robert Kagan make it clear that we can no longer put off a decision to expand our military forces. (Would that we had done it sooner.) It is also time for those who have supported the war in Iraq to speak directly to this issue. It’s obvious that there is no political support for a draft. So we’re going to have to pay a lot of money for a larger military.
