"It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months,"

Donald Rumsfeld on the now eight year old Iraq War

How long are we going to be in Libya? How many American troops will lose their lives?

I dont care if it is under NATO command, one troop death is too many and unnecessary.

2. +1

3. Considering there aren't any American troops in Libya, I'd say the number will be fairly low.

Probably like zero.

6. just 2000 Marines off the coast.

plus we have these handy dandy things called planes that have transported thousands of troops back and forth to Afghanistan and Iraq

5. leave the poor old war criminal alone! Obviously this was one of those

Unknown unknowns he was so eloquently talking about, or was it a known unknown, a known known???

7. the troops cannot come home

to no jobs and no homes. can't you guys figure that out?

jeeeez, bringing home 250,000 battle hardened reservists that signed up for one weekend a month, one month a year to find themselves on

perpetual deployment to war zones ain't going to be a pretty sight.

This is where the troops have it all over all of us, they are aware of their mission and they see no end to it. That's what the senseless killing

comes from.
