As far as recruiting and training the additional personnel, I believe it can be done without lowering standards. The people are out there, the recruiting is the first problem. Training would need more training personnel and facilities. These won't come overnight. And finally the back bone of any unit is its experienced officers and NCOs. They would be spread thin.
A few weeks ago an air head asked on TV: "If we can take a thousand men off of the street, train and equip them and send them into combat, why can't we do that with the Iraqi. Again, the answer is simple to me -- experienced leadership -- officers and NCOs.
