<h3>How many American troops are in Iraq? How many of our volunteer military do you think actually volunteered for</h3>

Iraq? Let's say there are a hundred and fifty thousand troops in Iraq as our base number.

Guesses?

I'll go with seven thousand actually volunteered for Iraq.

OK, blast away.
I see many people are taking a safe stance and not answering the question. Everyone understands what a volunteer military is and the dangers of signing on, that wasn't the question. Let me put it another way, if individual soldiers had the choice to stay or leave, how many would stay?
