When otherwise smart liberals, who support withdrawal from Iraq and want to restore habeas corpus, aver that, sure, expanding the Army is a good idea, all they’re doing is making it easier to launch ‘wars of choice.’ Let’s be clear what that dainty phrase really means: Illegal, aggressive wars. If a war is optional, it is almost certainly unjust, and probably contravenes the UN Charter’s proscriptions. A country involved in a lot of wars is a country that will restrict a lot of civil liberties. Just as front-line troops require a logistical tail, a large military requires a massive bureaucratic, ‘legal’ and political tail.
