"America's all-volunteer military simply cannot deploy and sustain enough troops to succeed in places like Iraq while still deterring threats elsewhere in the world," Carter concluded in the March issue of "Washington Monthly."
"The American society "hasn't gotten the message that we're at war," agreed Carter."Those at peril are completely divorced from those in power," said Mark Shields, a syndicated columnist and TV commentator who moderated the symposium. "It's 'Patriotism Lite' -- you put a sticker on your SUV."
How ironic. SUV's are part of the reason why we're at war. Think about that the next time you see a yellow sticker on the bumper of some gas-guzzler. - Vox
