At this point, I’d say the military will quietly welcome this. If there is emerging common ground with Dems, it was in this area. Small armies worked in the Afgan theator, but not in Iraq. Perhaps we went in too heavy there too, and with too many objectives.
I note that Tausher, a Bay Area Dem who is on this committee, was pushing hard for the troop increase last year and the previous year. I’d be curious to know what her position is now, now that the caucus has changed and they are in the majority.
Yep. Hunter has been pushing this since the mid 1990s. Hopefully, some dems do too.
