Thank you...I wasn’t sure how many...but, I believe the last thing I read about that..was that they would not be in place until at least the end of May.

Now....I saw an interview with a woman that served there, and has returned to the USA..but, she said the “not knowing” whether they were going to get the green light to finish their mission was really playing with the troops heads.

She said that it hurts them mentally to not be SURE that what they do in these towns and neighborhoods is going to be backed up by finishing the war plan as designed by Petraeus and the other generals.

IMHO...it is THIS type of emotional toll that is being placed on our troops that is much worse than talking about the money for supplies and weapons. We KNOW they will get that SOME way, even if it means taking funds from somehwhere else..

BUT, you don’t just reallocate the “will to fight”. Why should be keep their will to fight, when they keep hearing from LEADERS in this country that they have already lost??
