The White House now: we might keep troops there after all. Not just a handful of advisors, but 10,000 of them.

Not even a campaign lie but a downright lie. I overall don't really sway one way or the other regarding Obama's policies, but his hawkishness regarding war has been pretty damn disappointing to say the least.

10,000 isn't a lot.

not exactly "all" though.

e: Here I thought you were in the "let's stop having so many foreign military bases" camp anyway

I am. I just would rather not see my own hard work and effort go to waste by watching the country devolve into civil war because we pulled out too soon. That's all.

I spent a month on convoy escort duty, five months providing comms for the Prime Minister's office, one month in Kuwait sitting on my ass waiting to go north, a month on the wash rack going home, and the four months in between doing dinky commo jobs mixed in with hadji guard duty, convoys, and motor pool work. Oh, and I had rockets and mortars and spent rounds raining down on my positions every day that I was in Iraq. You did what, one seven month tour? Boo the fuck hoo.

Congrats on your cojones grandes. I got to eat lunch at the DFAC every day

It's cool that you got to get up all close and personal with Rummy's war. I'm super jealous.

I did work hard. 16 hour days, seven days a week for all but 14 days overseas. Earned myself heat exhaustion three times.
