> [@Random](#): > > Hmm… And where are the soldiers for these two new divisions going to come from without a draft? If I understand it correctly, special ops is a sought after position. It’s not like if more money funds more positions there will be a shortage of volunteers. In short, it’s a matter of funding, not manpower. ---
