"This can actually be validated in Obama's first term with his increased use of drones, unwillingness to commit troops to Libya and overall military utilization."
Actually, I'd say Libya confirms the complete opposite. While troops were not necessary because things went well, Obama illegally involved us in the conflict. If things went sourly, do you doubt we would have sent troops to help? Syria is still up in the air. North Korea is up in the air. Then there is the whole history of Vietnam, which was a JFK and LBJ initiative. Also, Charlie Rangel introduced legislation to reinstitute the draft. And I believe things are just getting warmed up in Africa (See Mali and Kony). Way too many resources to control and there is no way we can let the locals, Russia, or China do it. As a tangential, Putin has been urging his citizens to have more children. The only practical reason would be to increase the size of the army. I believe he envisions a war with China or the US or both.
