We're absolutely stretched thin. Iraq sucks. Afghanistan sucks. If you've been over there 3 times in like 4 or 5 years, why on earth would you stay in? I mean, there's a difference between doing nothing, but those kids have served their time and done their thing and many of them are getting out. They've lost their families in many cases, friends in many cases, and several of them have lost a lot of themselves.
As definite as I answered that above question, we could still shred any other country in the world in 2 days. You have to understand that we're only using a fraction of our high performance weapons there. The jets are barely flying. The bombs are still in bunkers in Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, etc. If utter destruction of a country was our primary goal, we could accomplish that in a matter of hours...
In Iraq, regardless of what the left wing of this country wants to believe or convince others to believe, utter destruction is not our goal or desire.
