Source: Read your contract. ( It says the Needs of the USA military comes first ) No one forced you to join so do back to back to back tours and stop complaining. Remember...There is no draft.

My husband has been deployed to the middle east 4 times, and has never once complained about it. Most military men don't. They are there to get the job done, whether they agree with the war or not (and many do not.)
I think you are forgetting that our miltary people fight for your freedom to act like a total a**hole.

do you have any compassion for their families? Have you any idea how it feel to think your loved one will be home after 12 months in a hostile environment to only find out he or she has to do more time! Let alone what that military member feels like having to grab a gas mask every time he or she hears the alarm. Oh, hold on, how about when they get home and a transformer blows down the street and they jump to the ground cause their first instinct is incoming! So tonight while you stay all tucked in bed think about what it would feel like to have to be away from your family for as you say back to back to back tours just because you are doing what others could or would never do. Give more to their county then they take! I think you should give the men and women in the military a break and let them complain cause even though they complain they are still doing it!!!

Dude. F*ck off. All their contract says is that they have to do it. Nowhere in their contract does it say "When my wife and I find out, through the television, that my tour of Iraq has been extended by 90 days I am going to smile and jump up and down for joy cause hey, lucky me."
And by the way, I think you would be hard-pressed to find even 5 yahoo posts written by soldiers complaining about their tours being extended. Most of them are just going to grit their teeth and do their job because that's how resilient they are.
Oh, and hey- remember... without these brave men and women who volunteer, there *would* be a draft.

some people flow to Iraq and come back completely distinctive people. they have harsh attitudes because of the fact of all the issues that they've viewed. He might have had a number of those characteristics till now he left and being that the affection became uncooked he did not coach them to you. there's a announcing which you in no way truly know somebody till you have lived with them a whilst. try to hunt advice from him approximately how he makes you experience. tell him you experience like he would not such as you as a guy or woman and spot the place it is going from there. with any luck he will open up and spot what he's doing incorrect. If not flow to counseling via your self. it might help .

My husband has been in Iraq 2 times and he never complained about the conditions there, of course that's his job, he knew what came along with it. What he complained about was not being with his family. He was not there for the birth of our daughter, that's hard! So maybe if you were there you would know how it feels to be away from the people you most love for that long.

Our country has an obligation to our troops especially for their morale and support of our troops! 15 months is a long time to be away from family, but I still do not hear any military members complaining. Rotations are a far better option than extending the time frame, especially since many of these members have served multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanastan. Putting thier lives in danger for their country so you should not pass judgement so quickly.
Until you have walked in their shoes perhaps you should refrain from judgement.

Because they were originally set to spend a certain amount of time. Being in that kind of atsmophere couldnt be fun, i would imagine spending a couple months could tire you. They are spreading the soliders too thin. Many do not get to come back for R & R so its non stop for them. Whats the use of having soliders that are way beyond mentally and physically tired?

I know a great many men and women over in theses areas now and MOST of them NEVER complain.. but what I do hear of complaints are primarily form YOUNG kids and newly marrieds and new parents.. they joined for a reason.. but never really thought about they ramifications of leaving their new souuses or brand new or unborn children for such long periods of time.,.
I KNOW its in their contracts.. but I am willing to bet that when these guys and women signed on.. many many many of them really did not expect it to go on like this .. emotions were very high and patriotism at a high...and being a part of the US Military seemed like the right and responsible thing to do.

I agree with you.
Many or the responses here argue that they are doing it to keep you safe but that is obviously untre. Exactly what threat was Ieaq to the US? None. They are deployed in Iraq to make a few people filthy rich.
These idioys here can argue abput patriotism until the cows come home, but they are too gullible to see the truth and too stupid to do anything about it

it would be great to see the day when the us has to enact to draft again because of the shrinking of the us military. yes people are complaining about back to back tours thats why the military is so streatched out. because poeple are not reenlisting in the military. with so many conflicts going on right now and no end in sight in iraq it is understandable why people complain because you will be complaining if we get into another comfinct with say iran or n. korea draftee
