1. Ho-lee-crap...

...THOSE are the troop numbers? I knew the numbers were bad, but this? Only seven commited more than 1,000 and only one of them provided more than ten thousand. Hell, more than half of them provided fewer than 500 troops. Oh this is sad, this is just sad. This is like saying a US shuttle mission that includes one-count-them-one non-USAmerican crew member is an "international" space mission.
