Yeah, it's not a huge force and they are cutting the numbers again in the latest budget while increasing the number of reservists. Huge armies are a thing of the past anyway, look how quickly Iraq's massive force was decimated by the Americans.... the mother of all battles Saddam promised never materialized. Technology, planning, rapid response and flexibility seem to be key nowadays.
