The nation's citizen soldiers, already strained by long tours in Iraq will be tapped again under new plans being developed by the Pentagon. And, defense officials are adjusting their policy that limits the deployment of reserves in the war to 24 months.
The Marines are drawing up similar plans that would for the first time send some reserve combat battalions back to Iraq for a second tour.
Under the unlimited authority given him by fearful people and a Republican Congress Bush ordered the call-up of the Guard and Reserve after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and can mobilized troops an unlimited number of times and so units that have already served in Iraq will be called for a second and a thitd tour.
It is only just that only those RED states that voted republican in 2006 in support of those deluded neo-con sociopaths in the whitehouse should supply guard troops for service in Iraq. Blue states guard units can be called to serve elsewhere.
