A relative that has been to Afghan several times, Silver Star, Bronze Stars; and even though most in his profession detest Big Ears as much as any of us; he said that right now they are busier than ever. Makes sense too with all the mistakes "O" has made over his tenure. He's being forced to raise the stakes or suffer a worse failure than he has created up to now.
We are just lucky our military are of a higher caliber than our Commander in Chief; unreal folks.
