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.

"Our troops are stretched thin."

I missed something. What country in their right mind , during a war, would spread this information around? Can you explaine this new kind of strategy?

"He did not magiclly solve it overnight or over the past year."

Your right. He didn't solve eight years of neglect overnight.
