If the Army is large enough to downsize and cap it, why are they doing Stop-Loss?

As just recently mentioned in my journal, the Administration wants to cap the size of the Army Reserve at its current level, and Rumsfeld thinks we can make do with a smaller Army. Then why is Stop-Loss being used?

I need some recommendations for "Courtly" movies

Specifically, movies that involve court intrigue and samples of people sucking up or otherwise currying favor. I just realized that this could also include political/business drama movies, the same sort of sucking up occurs in both politics and business, though I guess politics iz politics regardless of era. Right now I'm thinking about Ever After and Three/Four Musketeers, but I definitely need more. Any suggestions? This is for a game that I'm developing, if you're interested in this (broadly-speaking) genre, I might be able to pull you in to the development process.
