Do we really need 1.4+ million men under arms? I don't think so. We could easily cut that in half and still have one the most effective militaries in the world.he's our military numbers, by year.

Depends, on what you call "During" WW 2.....Its kind of mind-blowing that current troop levels are anywhere near what they were during World War 2. And have stayed that way for 70 years. Amazing. And this has been the conservative, "small government" position.
It saddens me to see the A-10 retired. What an amazing aircraft. Here is a plane that was built around a gun. They have a gigantic minigun, and built a plane specifically to use this gun. A gun so powerful, it slows the plane down, when firing.

IIRC There were some 12 MILLION MEN and WOMEN, in UNIFORM, "during" WW2..... NOT counting the numbers, of women, who went to work, here at HOME, during the War.....
And my QUESTION is WHERE are all these UNEMPLOYED, Men, and Women, going to go to WORK ?????
