Too little, too late. Given the results of the last election, I don't quite see a groundswell for this.
Besides, I don't know what they're smoking in their prattle about "military reality." The military reality is that their fighting guerilla forces and growing the army just means getting more people killed. That's all.
'Course, if the empire wishes to destroy itself, it could not choose a better or faster means than to grow its military engagements.
