No guess necessary. You're just plain wrong, Bob.

Your vision of that lonely American cannot be reconciled with the fact
that 100% of those lonely American's serving in Iraq are VOLUNTEERS.

Multiple tours
Shortened periods between tours
Lengthened tours
Stop loss

Are you saying that those who serve today are not VOLUNTEERS?.

Yeah, they are lining up to go back; that's why Bush needs all these
tricks to keep the "volunteers" in the service.

Your "tricks" existed long before Bush or his Daddy held office. Why
is that?
