I think you've tripped onto something that could change.


The multiple number of deployments in a row, I agree with you on that and the difficulty of standing units down.



But how about limiting deployments in a row, wouldn't it benefit to get these guys with 2 or 3 deployments out of the field and into training, whether with a regular unit or in terms of training more operators.


Give them a break, I know these guys are high octane and high test, but if you leave them in the jungle for too long, somethings going to break, or they're going to lose their humanity.


I completely agree with you that the senior top level leadership is failing badly, and the political leadership is even worse and more demanding of results beyond cost.



I've also been reading a lot of papers in terms of re-integration of soldiers leaving the service and heading back into the normal world, and not near enough is being done for them, The one day you're a soldier and the next your not aspect has to really change. I hate to liken it to parole, but there are some aspects of support that need to be given during the transition that's not happening now to our regret.
