Would you put them in Iraq and Afghanistan “for the duration?”
I don’t know the snswer, and I am a lot more curious than hypercritical. I do know that my dad went to Europe for WWII and stayed til it was over. I have seen admissions that thesae rotations mean discontinuity of effort and presence in the theatre. It is hard for me to understand how 150,000 stretches a force that is 10 times that big. Suppose this were a life or death existential fight for survival. Would we do it this way, or is the rotation a way to make the job more pallatable to volunteers?
