Let's try not to leave loose ends that the next generation is going to have to come back and clean up.

Speaking as a two time Iraq Vet, I do not buy that it's over. In fact, from my old base, Ft. Hood, the 3rd Armor Cavalry Regiment is gearing up for a deployment to Iraq. There is also a large amount of contractors and mercenaries still there. It's all B.S. Plus Op Tempo is not slowing down one bit, they are just sending more Soldier to Afghanistan now.

I'm so glad I got out.

The 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment (5000 Soldiers+) is preparing to leave as you read this and the 4th Brigade Combat Team (4000 Soldiers+) of the 1st Cavalry Division is going to Iraq in the next 30 days.

There are still 52,000 Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines in Iraq, and will be ther for the next 12-18 months....how many of them do you think serve a "noncombat" role?

There will be combat for Americans as long as there are Americans AND Arabs in Iraq.

He's right, if your in Iraq, it's combat.

It is good to see some of our heroes headed home. We'll still be over there doing a lot of hard work, but the goal is to transfer the fighting to our friends who live there. I wish our serving men and women the best, and I also wish the best for our allies, the Iraqis.
