Also, keep this in mind as the political pundits spew their anti-Bush propaganda. I've heard several claims that our servicemen are deployed for too long, and serving longer tours. This kind of talk is sure to continue as the election looms closer. If we still had all these military personnel that are listed above, troops could be rotated more frequently. Yet those of you old enough to remember, know that our troops back in WW2 and Korea and Vietnam were there way over a year on each tour of duty (except for John Kerry). It's not the troops who are complaining, it's the liberal whiners at home who start up this whining.
