Our son, USMC, is currently in Ramadi. He says the Marines there want to get into Afghanistan because things are slow in Iraq.

Bless your son and the head of the Marines who want to redeploy some Marines to Afghanistan.

My grandson, 173rd Paratrooper, (son of a former Marine,) is in the deadliest area of Afghanistan, "Taliban Central" in the Korengal = over 500 firefights first 6 months, KIA/wounded rate 1 in 4! - they are in NEED of more boots on the ground...

It seems to be Casey who's balking on it - Territorial imperatives?

Time - PAST time = for the traitors in DC to fund our troops and time for Casey to put his ego in his back pocket.

Go Marines...

More like where does he get the troops from? The army is on a 15 months overseas and less than 12 months home rotation right now. The only way to staff the surge and find extra troops for Afganistan is to cut the at-home time even more.
