I think one of the big questions here is: Does the ever changing reasons and rationalizations for us being in Iraq have an influence on our guys decision's to go on another tour? I think the deeper the bull gets the worse this situation may become.
I totally believe in our guys on the ground and I think most of them are in this because they believed in the threat to our country. The few I am privileged enough to know are starting to have doubts.
I think this will soon also have a negative effect on this situation and the number of reserve second and third tourers.
