The Pentagon Hates the Troops

It seems that our own Department of Defense is trying to undermine our Grand War on Terror.

Stretched by frequent troop rotations to Iraq and Afghanistan , the Army has become a "thin green line" that could snap unless relief comes soon, according to a study for the Pentagon .

Why does the Pentagon hate our troops?

Illustrating his level of concern about strain on the Army, Krepinevich titled one of his report's chapters, "The Thin Green Line."

He wrote that the Army is "in a race against time" to adjust to the demands of war "or risk `breaking' the force in the form of a catastrophic decline" in recruitment and re-enlistment.

They even admit they are encouraging the enemy.

Krepinevich said in the interview that he understands why Pentagon officials do not state publicly that they are being forced to reduce troop levels in Iraq because of stress on the Army. "That gives too much encouragement to the enemy," he said, even if a number of signs, such as a recruiting slump, point in that direction.

To recap: Army is stretched, but admitting it encourages the enemy. Best that we all live in a dream world where we believe the army does not need extra money or soldiers.
