28. i'm betting the folks on their third tour of duty in Iraq & Afghanistan
would WELCOME a bunch more enlistees so that they (the current soldiers) could have a couple rotations on the home front....

Just saying - no where near as many folks are signing up to don gear and fight as are riding around with yellow ribbons proudly proclaiming their "support". The military would greatly appreciate an influx of young healthy able bodied patriots.

As Rummy says - troops are "fungible" and unfortunately too many are missing out on the "fun" and coming back too injured to be able to support themselves....
