There are 500k active troops in the US Army. There are 37 combat brigades. Assuming about 5000 soldiers in each brigade, there are only ~175k troops in combat brigades. Where is everyone else? And what units are they in?

I know there are thousands of personel in different areas such as the Army Corps of Engineers, Materials Command, Training Command, etc. but doesn't the combined manpower of these areas amount to single digit thousands?

So where are the rest of the troops?

She's been grounded until further notice but her birthday is coming up on the 30th (17) so I don't want to "celebrate" and take away light of the punishment.
some may think the punishment is harsh, but if you know me and my background you will know that my husband is in recovery and we run a "clean & sober" household, so drinking (especially under age) is 100% unacceptable in our home.
any suggestions???
or any advice????

Would you support a measure to stop calling states that go democrat "blue" and change it to "red", since the democrats are the closest thing we have to communists in this country? Communism = Red.

Yes? No?

Okay so my boyfriend,son's father, crashed his car about a month and a half ago and I happened to lose my job around the same time.So everyday I would pick him up and drop him off at work. We were not living together before and he would come over about once or twice during the week and sometimes stay on the weekends. Well since the accident he had been staying at my house almost every night. I would drop him off at work pick him up and do the same almost everyday. Occasionally he would want to stay one or two nights at his own house(his moms). Well that's the background...here is the problem or maybe it's not. He got a car last week and he didn't come over on Monday and didn't hardly talk to me all day either, Tuesday he didn't come over, Today Wed. he said he would come over and then at about 7:30 pm I called and asked him where he was and he said he wasn't coming and was going to his boys house. I was like I told u this was going to happen and he said I was overreacting...hold on..

Liberals, for the hatred of one man, what lows will your left-wing fringe sink to next?

I first read the story here:

However, for the purpose of research, I visited the democratic underground website to confirm the story (so libs, don't accuse me of being a mindless neocon, and don't moan about the source. Here's confirmation straight from the horse's mouth):
