A 4 star general said we needed 500,000 troops to secure Iraq. He was demoted. He was also right.

That is not a mistake, that is dereliction of duty on the part of George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

They betrayed our volunteer army by not sending enough troops and by not equipping it properly.

Personally, I think its treason to make the parents of our boys buy their own body armor so they don't get killed or maimed.

If our volunteer army is abused, it will cease to exist. Can anyone guess what the alternative is?
