Iraq forever - Military looks at extending deployments again

For a group of people who love to parade around their "support" for the troops, these guys really don't give a crap about what happens to our soldiers.

The Army is considering whether it will have to extend the combat tours of troops in Iraq if President Bush opts to maintain the recent buildup of forces through spring 2008.

This is just contingency planning, but coming on this morning's story about the military disregarding it's own psych recommendations for deployments, this just has disaster written all over it.

There's inadequate to no treatment for soldiers returning with PTSD and other mental wounds, but the current leadership is ignoring their own military experts' advice on how to limit these injuries.

The homeless Vietnam vets didn't come from nowhere.

(Oh, and if you think this administration will not try to continue "the surge" making this contingency a reality, I have a rapidly decreasing number of bridges across the Tigris to sell you.)
