Freaking 4 stars SHOULD know better than to say something that provides the press with fodder to slam GW and the military. SecDef did his job. If they don't know any better they should be called down in PUBLIC. The troops are NOT tired. They are pumped. Vietnam went on for years with NO NATIONAL objective or SUPPORT. Our forces will run on adrenaline alone for another year or two. If we need more munitions DON'T TELL THE WORLD about it. All in all very stupid of these 4 bangers.
Freaking 4 stars SHOULD know better than to say something that provides the press with fodder to slam GW and the military. SecDef did his job. If they don't know any better they should be called down in PUBLIC. The troops are NOT tired. They are pumped. God forbid they actually tell the truth. And how can you say they are not tired and pumped??? We are deployed all over the world, and just remember, our President kept hammering the point home just a year and a half ago that our military was in a poor state of readiness. He did not magically solve that overnight or over the past year.
Our troops are stretched thin. I've got buddies serving overseas, both in the Persian Gulf, and in what's left of the former Yugoslavia. They are having a hell of a time. Unfortunately, congress and Bush won't pull our troops out of all the nation building missions, so our troops in the hotspots are having to do more than they normally would.
