I would like to some troops taken out of Europe, but I still think we need a larger active force, some from taking excess troops out of places like Europe but mostly through increased recruitment levels.
Morale is something to be concerned about of course.

Definitely..but how do you recruit anyone for Iraq when guys are getting killed daily, chopper accidents, etc., and not to forget the increased amount of guys who are coming back/discharged for depression? Honestly, it doesn't look good and our military is cut thin now. Plus, what about the cuts that were made in pay and benefits? AND not to forget and wonder how many will ever make it back home alive since this war isn't going as planned? Doesn't look good, does it? I asked a question earlier about how many from this board would be going or something along that line, and as you see, the question hasn't been touched. I think that tells me something..When it comes down to going to Iraq, not many are going to be that gunho.
