Thank you!! This has been my fear since the election. My dh is leaving in February, and this is the first deployment that has actually scared me, and he was in Afghanistan in early 2002.
I have this vision of them bringing home the Reserves and Guard because, let's face it, their homecomings look better on tv (not that they don't deserve to be home, but you get my meaning), and that the smaller units will be stuck there with no real support.
It's all a chess game for these jerks, but this is my husband, my family, and we have NEVER complained about this life, but I would like him to have at least a fighting chance. The Dems need to at least have a better plan before they start demanding withdrawal.
They may crow about their superiority and how GW owes the troops an apology, but if the cut 'n runners keep on like this, they will be the ones responsible for needless deaths, IMO, not the other way around. But of course, we are stupid anyway, so who cares what we think.
