Stop Burning Out The Troops

Today, Senators Jim Webb and Chuck Hagel will be offering an amendment that requires our troops have a 1:1 deployment-to-dwell ratio for active units and members. This amendment is vital to the continued morale and effectiveness of our Armed Forces, which are breaking under the strain of unprecedented long deployments in combat zones.

Please email your Senators before today’s vote. Encourage them to support my Dwell Time Amendment to support our troops.

1. I'm afraid it's as doomed as it was in July (sigh). But good luck, guys.
Hopefully the troops realize what's being done for them in the Senate.
