I know that the military withdraw has been scheduled for some time now but with Pakistan "kicking us out" and this withdraw are the troops coming home to rest or work. I don;t normally post here but i can just imagine an extra 50,000 soldiers walking around the streets for some reason :-( Jason
If the PTB suspend elections or cause some other brainless bit of trouble, maybe those troops can keep We The People from decorating the trees with a few politicos....... Maybe.
Those troops are liable to do the decorating themselves when they come home and find the rights they fought to protect are being suspended. Can't imagine anything that would piss me off more than losing my best friends bringing democracy to a foreign country only to have my own become a socialist dictatorship in the process.
When the troops are deployed a lot of the dependents head home. Cities such as Fayetteville, NC miss the income. What have the war fighters ever done to us as compared to the politicians??
unemplyment lies just got a lot longer Those 50K - and more - troops will quickly be out on the street - great way for the pols to 'find' extra money to pay off special interest groups, eh? Why do you think the bamster was calling for 100K new jobs for the troops//hire a vet//tax credit ( a pittance BTW) to hire a Vet? The new Bonus Army anyone?
just hear from a couple of younger troops that thier units are being redeployed to afganistan. Obamy promised all troops out of iraq by years end. he never said they were coming home. Iran is heating up, there will be other places to send troops before pulling them home.
from what ive heard as scuttlebut O dont want those troops here they may well decorate the whitehouse lawn with him as the centerpiece
Work for O against the American people. My concern is with the possible passing of some laws in play Obama to sign indefinite detention bill into law - Salon.com that he needs these troops to enforce his ways on those that don't want to comply. I can see it happen like this " your family and you will be fed if you help with this momentous project, if not you face court martial and your family has 5 days to leave the base". Idk seems like Obama will do anything to force his ways including using his executive powers to force the military's hand. Jason
No ones really talking about it yet... but starting early in 2012 there's going to be a lot of major deployments into central America... the two biggies I'm sure of is my old Marine unit is in the pre-deployment phase to go to Honduras... while my sons outfit... the 89 Army... is pre-deployment to go to Mexico... they maybe leaving Pakistan but no one said they were coming home...
Im with Ron Paul on this one , mind our own business , close almost all bases of foreign soil , use our troops only for DEFENSE , stop being the world policeman . We cant afford it financially , not to mention ...................its not our job to tell everybody how to act when we cant even keep our own back yard safe . I will be glad to have them back where they belong .
