More Troops

Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that we never had enough troops to do the job. Instead, we keep sending the same war-weary troops back more than once while some never go at all. Those families where both parents are in the Guard quite often get sent, leaving their children to be raised by family members, while others never have gone. None of this has ever made sense to me.

And the new troops will be garnered mostly from our Guard units. Lord knows, Alabama has supplied more than its share of troops, and Fort Stewart, too.

But all the troops in the world won't help if the Pentagon continues to send them their with "their hands tied behind their backs." Let them do the job, please, and get out of there. All the billions we have put into Iraq while our Gulf Coast is still in ruins is a thorn in this voter's side. And for every school we build, the morons tear it down.

At least the world is rid of Saddam but I would feel so much better if we knew where Osama is and could rid the world of that scourge. Maybe we could have had we stayed on course.

But our troops need our support. God love them, they answered the call to duty but we need them safe on American soil and the sooner, the better. Our prayer is that all of them will make it home safely--and soon.
