I recently read that out of the UK's 90,000 troops, we could theoretically deploy a maximum of 60,000 at any given time.
Out of pure curiosity I was wondering what the figure for the US is, without resorting to the draft of course.

They have currently deployed (or nearly have) 100, 000 in Iraq. True they are a bit stretched at the mo. And If britain can theoritically can field nearly 2/3 how couldnt the US field 1/3? Still it was only a guess.
