Thanks for the links. IMHO, the units that marched on Baghdad should be rotating out with fresh units rotating in. Different missions and tough to change the mindset from "kill'em all" to nation builder.

Most of the units are rotating out. The 3rd ID is overstaying their expected tour mostly because a press intent on stirring up trouble - IS. America's enemies know where to find the press. There's some truly rotten DNC mischief going on.

This sums it up, and should make every American furious:

...(I) get the same response from my hubby everytime he calls....he asks what the latest in the news is and I tell him...he just can't believe what they are reporting here.....they report all the negatives....

 

all of these negative stories are affecting troop morale...Mike(hubby) asked me last week *is anyone in the US happy Saddam is gone*...I couldn't believe he even had to ask that question...but all he hears is it's a quagmire, where's Saddam, where's the WMD.....all he knows is what's happening to him and his men and it's not being reported...pats on the back and handshakes from Iraqis, thanking them and the US.
