	High Military Expenditure in Some Places - Global Issues
		The combined military spending of these countries was slightly higher than the aggregate foreign debt of all low-income countries and 10 times higher than their combined levels of official development assistance in 2001.
		While US military expenditure is set to continue to grow and will continue to propel world military spending, the pace is likely to fall back somewhat in the next few years.
		In 1997 alone, half of USA’s aid was related to military aid/trade — and most of that was to countries that are already wealthy, like Israel, or Turkey (which has often been one of the largest recipients of US military aid and has often been criticized for its human rights violations and crackdowns).

	Boston.com / News / World / Iraqi Guard commander arrested by US military
		US and Iraqi officials have repeatedly said they expect various insurgent and terrorist groups to plant members inside the new Iraqi security services, but so far had released no evidence that top commanders, like Lahibi, were working with guerrilla groups.
		US forces and the Iraqi government have launched a renewed nationwide offensive against the uprising, unleashing attacks of stunning scope, force, and frequency in September, peaking at 90 attacks a day two weeks ago.
		Lessel insisted that US troops, working in concert with Iraqis, were successfully eroding the capacity of the insurgency.

	Hollow Force - Has Iraq stretched the U.S. military to its breaking point? By Phillip Carter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The U.S. military remains the most lethal fighting force ever fielded, but one year in Iraq has chewed it up, creating global shortages of manpower, equipment, and spare parts that are not easily relieved.
		Military officers often say that "amateurs study tactics—professionals study logistics." The reason for this axiom is that even the simplest military task—like moving a unit from point A to point B—requires a Herculean logistical effort.
		It probably means we need to increase the size of the active military and adjust the mixture of active and reserve forces to put more "nation-building" troops like military police and civil affairs personnel on active duty.

		Secondly, the US government, which under the Foreign Military Sales Program signed the actual contracts with the Iranian government, and thus is liable to US contractors, is committed to finding alternative uses for the weapons.
		According to US government documents, there were, before the Shah fell, some 6,452 US civilian ‘contract personnel’ and 1,122 US government personnel stationed in Iran in connection with US arms programmes.

		While the United States is reportedly planning to beef up its military forces and hardware in East Asia to keep North Korea in check, the public in Japan and South Korea is clearly less than enthusiastic about more US military presence in their countries.
		The US, however, determined to "deter North Korean adventurism during a war with Iraq", as the administration of President George W Bush puts it, is apparently unfazed by Japanese and South Korean public opinion.
		Although Manila's enthusiasm about hosting the US military is unsurprisingly very limited at best, scenarios about reopening bases in the Philippines and elsewhere in Asia have indeed been discussed for some time on and off the record in the Pentagon.

	Gulf deployment leaves US military stretched thin \| csmonitor.com
		Although US forces deployed to the Persian Gulf are smaller in absolute size than they were in 1991 for Operation Desert Storm, America is sending a higher proportion of its combat units into battle at once than it has in decades.
		The US has committed most of its heavy ground forces and deployable aircraft carriers, as well as a large share of its best attack aircraft and air- and sea-lift units.
		But even if the US hadn't committed such a large force to the Gulf, little in the American arsenal could do much to protect South Korea from the North's most potent weapons: chemical weapons and artillery tubes within range of Seoul.
