5. Uh, the third paragraph of Lindorf's referenced in the piece DOES

'use the available comparison that there are 50,000 currently in Germany' - making the point that NOBODY IN GERMANY IS SHOOTING AT THEM.

There is no comparison between the forces stationed in Europe and those in Iraq. There are not, and will not be, large dependent populations in Iraq, with high schools and off-base housing because it is still a war zone. Just saying they are not combat troops does not mean nobody else will be dying there.

Kudos for getting those troops out who we have gotten out, but this thing is far from over.
