Agreed. I am actually confused by why Atlantic Command was testifying to the war in Afghanistan, its CentCom's war not Atlantic's. He does not seem to be the appropraite voice for this and certainly was not cleared to discuss this through SecDef. As to the army general, what a whiner. They just barely got in the fight a few weeks ago in force (special forces excepted).
The only legitimacy I can think of to his claim is the strain on reserve forces that this along with recalls from the Klintoon days is causing. In certain functions, like security and psyops for example, the army has moved almost all their capability to the reserves. Most reservist, though not all, have civilian careers to balance, and employers who understand the need to deploy maybe once every 10 years or so. Constant recalls every three years or so for one year or longer orders has reservists opting out when they get off active duty, and discourages new reserve entries.
