He noted delays in troop returns and demonstrations, but stressed demobilization has proceeded as fast as possible given the enormous task and postwar obligations. He cited released numbers: over half of 8,300,000 overseas service members, 4.75 million separated, navy near 1.25 million back, marine corps over 193,000 discharged, coast guard 74,000+. He warned the pace reflects national duty to peace and rebuilding, not arbitrary action.
