Elephant In Exile

If we're dipping into the retirement pool for soldiers what does that say about our military readiness?! We as a nation spend upwards of $400 billion dollars a year on defense (more than the entire developed world, plus China, combined) and we can only field a ground force of 100,000? Is the new plan to send Granpa Simpson to Iraq to bore insurgents with stories of how the Kaiser stole our word for "Twenty" and how he wore an onion on his belt?

Many questions. Any answers out there?
