Now since general Patreas kissed George Bush’s ass to agree on keeping troops in Iraq until the spring of 08. Is not much a joke if not almost a dream. Have these officials realize that the longer we keep troops in Iraq. The faster these officer terms of service will end. We now have officers serving on their third, fourth, and even fifth tours of duty .Our military is stretch way thin to a point to where we have none to very little military to protect us at home. Isn’t that the main reason we have Homeland Security?!
In fact if , let’s just say China were to attack us from Los Angeles with over 70,000 troops. We would be only be able to send 50,000 reserve service men and women. And would need to recall an additional 35,000 retired or minored injured reserve to fight. That alone would take an additional 2 weeks to assemble. By then .China would have taken several California cities and would have hunkered in to a long term fight.
But let’s talk about the reality of our personnel in Iraq. If we do stay in Iraq until spring. We could estimate that close to a 1000 soldiers will perish and around 7,000 to 10,000 more will be injured. Is this war worth losing 1000 Americans?! We know that Bush does not care. We know that the majority of Republicans in office don’t. So who does ?! Who will bring our soldiers home?. I guess the only way they can come home if they come home in a flag draped body bag.
Something to think about when you are supporting your president.
