Promised these poor people would only have to spend one year in combat. Today they said "we meant it when we said it". What kind of crap is that? This is wrong. Bring these people home.

they really know how to "support the troops". . .
They have. . .
duped them in to serving far longer than they ever imagined,
not given them sufficient protective gear.
not taught them anything pleasant to say in Arabic or dukey about their culture,
insighted the enemy by such wittisisms as "bring 'em on" and shut down a newspaper that nobody was reading, for inciting violence, which only incited more violence, and to which we responded with only more violence.
Oh yeah this constitutes total support and really savvy foreign policy.

5. The worst thing about it... |
|
is that this decision is totally political. He knows starting a draft or even sending more troops over would hurt him politically, but just keeping the same people over there won't be noticed as much. It's sick.

And I would think even repukes would think this is unacceptable and unforgivable and dishonorable and THEY should be calling for impeachment! If it were a Democrat in the WH, you can bet your bottom dollar they'd be screaming "Impeach!"
