It's important to know that our men and women do believe in what they're fighting for, and that's what the re-enlistment numbers show. I think this also shows that they know we have to finish the job there, which is why I've openly questioned pulling them out too soon. If our forces are going to reduced by 1/4th in the spring of next year, it doesn't seem like enough time for us to do much good. In any event, thanks for the comment. I agree.

Most of those troops have seen action and are reenlisting because they either see progress or at least they believe it is a noble cause. This is encouraging news. To me this is a good sign overall.
