Reply #6: why we need a phased redeployment [View All]

There is a real reason why we have to do this as a phased redeployment. There are things we have to do in order to outprocess out of Iraq. It is going to take time to for the units to give back specialized equipment, account for ammunition, and to arrange flights out of Kuwait. You can't just ship every one here on one plane!! It is going to take a few months even if we decided to pull out right now. This is more of a logisitical thing than anything else. I ought to know since I am in the Army and I am in Iraq.
