Remember this?

“Anyone who worries about how long we’re in Iraq does not understand the military and does not understand war."
Among the ignorant in McCain's world...

“…the cumulative effects of the last six- plus years at war have left our Army out of balance, consumed by the current fight and unable to do the things we know we need to do to properly sustain our all-volunteer force and restore our flexibility for an uncertain future.” Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey [2/26/08]

“We are a nation long at war, facing an era of persistent conflict. Our soldiers and families are stretched. We are an Army out of balance. And we are consuming our readiness as fast as we build it.” Secretary of the Army Pete Geren [2/26/08]

“We must reduce deployment lengths from 15 months, increase time spent at home-station between deployments, and provide predictability across all components, if we are to relieve the considerable stress placed on our Army, our soldiers, and our Army families.” Lt. General Michael Rochelle, Army Deputy Chief of Staff, G1 [2/26/08]
