5,500 GIs get orders for Afghanistan

[lebkuchen]

Troops from the Giebelstadt-based 3rd Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment, a Black Hawk unit, learned they will be headed to Afghanistan, barely a year after finishing an extended 13-month tour in Iraq.

Lazy welfare bums!

At least they got to tour the Rhine in the Summer.

2. Oh yeah, that other war.

Isn't that an increase of almost 50% in the number of troops in Afghanistan?

3. Afghawhere?

Ah yes, the forgotten war. How many of our troops have died / are dying there, uncounted and unremembered by our government and media?

6. Who cares? Cheney got his pipeline for Kenny Boy.

7. Don't forget Iran (next possible target)

With bases in Afghanistan and under construction in Iraq, Iran could be facing action on both its eastern (Afghanistan) and western (Iraq) fronts from U.S. forces.

I have no military experience and am just a student of history, so if my comment doesn't jibe with those who know about military strategy, please say so.

a number of times.
