Volunteers

Why can't civilians understand that we like to deploy? And it's not an Air Force thing, I had this conversation with an Army SFC. We've got a new congress and they want anything to happen as long as it's change. I can see it now, bring the troops home, everyone thinks they did the troops a huge favor and everyone will listen to the media and not listen to the actual troops who (for a large part) want to stay and finish the job. Or maybe go on a shorter rotation and when their turn comes up again, go back for another round. But as long as there is any kind of change, all we are going to hear is "see, we told you so". I'm just glad 2008 is still 2 years away.
