I'm concerned about the military: John Murtha speaks for me.

"The future of our military is at risk. Our military and our families are stretched thin. Many say the Army is broken. Some of our troops are on a third deployment. Recruitment is down even as the military has lowered its standards. They expect to take 20 percent category 4, which is the lowest category, which they said they'd never take. They have been forced to do that to try to meet a reduced quota."

1. Just remember Bush's election rhetoric ...

Remember Bush talking about how an entire US division was in a state of un-readiness???
