My question is if 1500 is perceived as needed to help, why not send 15,000?
Isn't the time for half measures over? Get out or get in.

What makes you think we have 15,000 soldiers just sitting around that we can send?

It's hard to see how 1500 soldiers are enough to make a substantial difference.

They are sitting around and drinking in Germany.
They are not just sitting around.
What a monumental waste of money.
