The Chief of Staff of the Army, General Casey, did a speech the other day at the Atlantic Council:

In this speech, (way down at the paragraph that starts out: The other thing about demographics is that --), General Casey made specific note that:

"The middle classes of China and India are already larger than the population of the
United States. . . ."

So it appears that the Army has their eyes somewhat on this also.

Thought you and Tom might be interested.
