Apparently you missed the fact that the 4th Infantry Division has been preparing to go for months. The only thing that has changed is that they didn't get the chance to meet their equipment in Turkey. We are now sending a lot of troops in addition to 4th ID.
The Turks stiffed us; now we are scrambling, it seems to me. You disagree, fine.

Many of the troops currently being called up have been on notice that they would be called up for several months. We are not "scrambling," regardless of how the media portrays it.
I don't understanad Peters' complaint, other than the lack of armor, because if I have known about these expected deployments, I cannot understand why he hasn't known about them.
