Stretched by frequent troop rotations to Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army has become a "thin green line" that could snap unless relief comes soon, according to a study for the Pentagon. Andrew Krepinevich, a retired Army officer who wrote the report under a Pentagon contract, concluded the Army cannot sustain the pace of deployments to Iraq long enough to break the back of the insurgency. He also suggested that the Pentagon's decision to begin reducing the force in Iraq this year was driven in part by a realization that the Army was overextended.It's obvious that all the rightwing warmongering chickenhawks who hide behind their pom-poms and 'support the troops' decals, are not men enough to volunteer to go and fight the war they feel is so justified, so as I have said many times before, it's time to draft all these 'let's keep on fighting' Republicans! First thing you do is you go to the voter registrations. All Republicans under the age of 60 will immediately be eligible for the draft. No exceptions. No whining from those over the current age allowed, (32 years) about being too old. An M-16 isn't heavy and even a big-mouthed fatass Republican can ride around in a Humvee. We need bodies and it's only right to start with the cheerleaders who haven't had the chance to serve. Line them up at the local Republican campaign office..18-60 year olds-12 weeks of boot camp, some nice half-ass armor, an M-16 and a helmet. No more recruitment problems. Canada, get ready for a whole lot of rightwing girlie-men as new immigrants.
