I never said anyone didn't have the right to say whatever the hell they want. But the remark you were replying to was about recruiting. What else do you think was meant by the "Kids are catching on" part? So that's what I was addressing -- the argument that our current overseas deployments are the explanation for a drop in recruiting.
Look, if you just want to make a general point that we have too many overseas commitments, that's fine. I don't care. I'm simply saying there is no logical reason to believe that our current overseas commitments have anything to do with recruiting, or that kids aren't enlisting because they have "caught on" that we deploy overseas, which is really just the same point.
“Look, if you just want to make a general point that we have too many overseas commitments, that’s fine.”

Its so kind of you to allow me the privilege of doing that.
Seriously, do you realize how arrogant you come across?
