Rubbish. I’ve got a catechumen who’s preparing to deploy to Iraq as part of a logistics battalion. The “turning out the lights” crew won’t even be into Iraq until sometime in the fall or winter. This is propaganda based on the specious distinction between “combat troops” and “non-combat troops” made up either by the left or some militarily-challenged moron in the diplomatic corps. Obama wants to claim we’ll have withdrawn by then as a campaign talking point for his loony left base.
when the bullets start flying, they’re ALL combat troops...
Exactly. I look around, and I still see a lot of people carrying weapons.
