The Christian Science Monitor had a detailed article on US Army numbers (not sure about the other branches) by individual state recruiting and rates by individual states (you have to go about 2/3 through the article to get to the table). I have linked it below for you.

There are 321 Generals Currently on Active Duty.  This dose not count the Generals that are in the National Guard and Reserve who have been activated or otherwise.

That was over 90 years ago and then men who served must be well over 100 years of age. But since it was so long ago, I'm sure the Army's in Europe weren't very organized at the time. And there is little knowledge of who served. But there is less than 50 still living within the US. So I would say maybe around 100 (and that's pushing it!)\nProud Great Grand-Daughter of Cpl.

If the question is how many troops are there in Iraq? The answer would be that there are currently about 150,000 troops stationed in Iraq. If you are asking about the American military then the answer is, there are about 2,500,000 people serving in the Armed Forces in one capacity or another, not counting civilians working for the military services or military contractors supplying the services.

Proportionally, probably just as many as any other Armed Force. War is a messy business which, despite the wishes of some, has few clear rules. It's frightening and people do irrational things when they are frightened/scared. The biggest problem the American armed forces has is that in the interests of 'clarity', 'transparency' and 'openness' it tends to encourage the media to accompany it on operations; conveniently forgetting that the media often have different agendas - selling papers/advertising space etc. and mistakes and 'bad' news are great sellers! Liberal, rose-tinted spectacles do not always serve the cause of truth, accuracy or historical fact.

In 2000 there were nearly 800,000 full-time sworn law enforcement officers in the United States. The actual total was 796,518. This is the latest year that numbers are available from the US Dept of Justice.\n\nThe Army National Guard is composed of 325,000 soldiers. I could not find numbers on the Air Guard or the Reserve components of the Armed Forces.

eight to 10 is what I recall.\n\nCurrently a\n\nSPECIAL FORCES COMPANY, SPECIAL FORCES BATTALION\nOrganization\n\nThe Special Forces Company is comprised of a Company Headquarters (CO HQ) and six SFOD\n\nOperational "A" Detachments (A DET).\nPersonnel\n\nThe Special Forces Company consists of 8 officers, 7 warrant officers, and 67 enlisted soldiers.\n\nA support company may conttain 94 enlisted.\n\n\nSPECIAL FORCES GROUP (AIRBORNE)\n\n\nOrganization\n\n\nThe Special Forces Group (Airborne) is comprised of one Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC), one Support Company (SPT CO), and three Special Forces Battalions (SF BN). See Figure 3-3 for typical group organization. \n\n\nThe HHC consists of 28 officers, 3 warrant officers, and 58 enlisted soldiers. The SPT CO consists of 13 officers, 12 warrant officers, and 151 enlisted soldiers. Each SF BN consists of 39 officers, 24 warrant officers, and 320 enlisted soldiers.\n\n\nStaffing depends on a units function. This happens to be a US Army Special Forces Group

I do not believe compulsory military service is required for the time being. Although the Army has had trouble recruiting in the past they have now been on target for their recruiting goals for the past six months. \n\nRight now the Army is preparing for a major organizational transformation. Instead of Divisions being deployed (10,000-15,000 soldiers) Brigade sized units will be deployed (3,000-5,000 soldiers). What this means is groups of soldiers can be deployed in more efficient rotations. Now it will be less common for soldiers to be deployed 2 or 3 times.\n\nAlso, one thing most Americans do not know is there are currently 10,000 mercenaries or private security corporations in Iraq doing the same jobs as the actual soldiers. \n\nPolitically a draft would be a disaster for the Bush administration and there are enough alternatives that I don't see it happpening any time soon.
