Tired Marines being told they will have "Extended Stay of Duty." Just

[KoKo]

announced on CNN. Said they were stationed in Southern part of Iraq where they have been in combat, now they are in the Western part where they continue to "engage the enemy."

I think they said extended for 7 months. What about the stress on these Marines, and their families.

1. according to Brit Hume it's no more stressful than living in California

and the should just get over it.

3. Yea Right

He is an idiot. I am a Viet-Nam Veteran and when your under these conditions 24/7 its very stressfull. Another Chickenhawk.
Just like the misadministration. They dont have a clue.
I feel for these Marines.

5. Not only that, but an illegal war which has violated our Constitution

which they have sworn to uphold. They have been made the Bad Guys by this maladministration and I think they will pay a huge psychic toll for this when the realization hits them, if it hasn't already. I feel for them as well (although I have great difficulty feeling anything for those out to kill all ragheads...I'm talking about the normal ones)
