"15 months tops for war-zone tours, Army secretary says" by Lolita C. Baldor and Robert Burns/Associated Press August 24, 2007
WASHINGTON -- Army Secretary Pete Geren ruled out extending troop deployments yesterday beyond the current 15 months, saying that longer tours in Iraq put stress on soldiers and their families and have contributed to an increase in suicides.
After ruling out deployments longer than 15 months, Geren would not say what options are under consideration to maintain current troop levels beyond spring 2008 if that is what the Army is asked to do:
"I don't want to speculate on how we would meet the demand that combatant commanders might make next year, but we're looking at all the options."
[First Looney Lute, now him?!
WAKE UP, sleeping stinkfucks!!!!]
In October, the United States will enter its seventh year at war -- the third-longest conflict in the country's history, behind the Vietnam War and the Revolutionary War, which was fought from 1775 to 1783."
[Oh my God! And dipshit asshole wants patience and time?
Making all these WWII/Korea comparisons? WTF, a-hole?!?!
Those were ALL OVER BY NOW!!!
SEVEN YEARS!!! Good Lord, this IS WORLD WAR III!!!
And HE DIDN'T EVEN SERVE!
