Well ABC says the Captain in question had been promoted, but was reporting on the condition of the platoon he had commanded when a Lieutenant.
Of course the story is BS—thanks for confirming my intuition (based on no military experience whatsoever) that the notion of dividing a platoon to deploy part to one theater and part to another was absolute rot.
Exactly. This babe in the woods will believe and repeat anything...Obama won't make it to November. This is gonna be a hoot.
