Been in 7 years have deployed 4 times working on my 5th. Vietnam Vets did not deploy as often as we do and that’s a fact. People who served just 2 tours in Vietnam were considered very unlucky. I have 3 in Iraq and working on 2 in Afghanistan. We need 12 month rotations because of train up and the fact that every time we go it’s a different freaking mission. You can’t compare the wars of our father’s to the one we are in now. They had a more linear type of battlefield, with the exception of some Vietnam battles due to the Viet Cong.

“Bush and it is all politics. I don’t believe they care that much about our troops and families as much as the votes. ”

Yes, your right.

I understand your frustration and agree, even if it’s from a different perspective. As a country and as a people (one nation, indivisable, wasn’t it?) we have to face those who threaten our survival no matter how many they are and how many directions they come from (even from within). That’s going to require some sacrifice from everyone.

If the Congress feels that our military is spread too thin, it’s their own fault for cutting military spending. The House is the keeper of the government purse, aren’t they? So every time they point accusingly at the President, they point three fingers back at themselves.

So my response to Congress isn’t “get a clue”. My response is to American citizens everywhere is “fire the whiners”. It’s going to cost us something to replace all the irresponsibles in our government. It’s going to cost us time and campaign dollars. It’s going to cost our anonymity, and most of all everyone’s going to have to get out of their armchairs and get into the action! You see something wrong with America? Fix it!

I wonder if those Congresscritters have a clue what it is the military does.

Yes, that is a great post, CJ! I agree whole heartedly with you. Congress has no business passing that kind of act. They are doing anything they can to frustrate Pres. Bush and it is all politics. I don’t believe they care that much about our troops and families as much as the votes. That is what they are aiming for and they are shooting us in the foot by doing that! Hope they wake up before they make our country weaker by all this crap!
