Why are these military members crying so loudly?

Pentagon moves to increase U.S. troop levels in Iraq By Will Dunham

WASHINGTON - The U.S. military is delaying the departure of thousands of soldiers from Iraq while speeding the arrival of thousands more as a way to keep more troops on the ground to handle unrelenting violence, U.S. officials said on Monday.

The United States, in a bid to stem a rise in sectarian violence between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims that has heightened concern over civil war, has increased its troop count in the past two months to the current level of 142,000 and more to come.

A brigade of roughly 3,800 soldiers from the Army's 1st Armored Division, based in Germany, that was due to have left Iraq in January is being held in place for a little under two months, said defense officials who asked not to be named because the decision has not been formally announced.

These soldiers, serving in the volatile area of Iraq are needed. However, the crying has started. The troops wanted to go home.

Well, let's see. They are being asked to fight an illegal war. They don't know why we're there, because keeping other nations from civil war is not a threat to the US. Oh yes, let's not forget that the good ol USA has reneged on its contract with our troops by holding them in a 'backdoor draft'. I'd complain too.

Not sure on why anyone would ask this question but here's a good answer for ya..... They want to go HOME... How would you like to be away from your family and friends for a long period of time and think you are going home just to be told that it'll be longer... even 1 week is a long time to those men and women....THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO CRY AND *********. about it...

Anyone who wants to criticize them should take their place.

i read your little profile thingy. man you really think alot of yourself don't you? after you are long gone no one is going to give a s-hit about what you wrote. they will probably use it to wipe their a-ss, just like you believe a military discharge is worth. you really are the scum of this country. THIS IS JUST ANTI - AMERICAN PROPOGANDA. the fact that you are allowed to even right this crap on here is a surprise. but then again thats what this country is about. oh yea and guess who protects that right, THE MILITARY!!!! so shut the ***** up.

Dumb question!!! How would you like to spend a couple of years in a place where you wouldn't go if you were sent to hell? When they get there they start counting down until the day they get to leave...then as that day approaches they are told "lucky you, you get to stay and help the Iraqis die some more". I will shoot my son if he even considers joining Bush's army.

The only crying I hear is from you. So tell us, did you even get past MEPS or did you fail out of boot for being a pencil neck geek loser.

You get taken away from your children, wife, home, country, and life, and be put in their shoes! Then see how you like it and see if you dont cry to go home. You can sit around and write your news but have no right to disrestect like you just have.

Erudite, you are no better than the coward hippied that used to throw bags of excrement at the soldiers returning home from Vietnam...

The reason the excrement was in baggies? The hippies didnt want to get their hands dirty...

Ihave said it before and Ill say it again. you are a disgrace to the human race.

jarhed

The only person I see crying is you and it seems to have no end in sight !

They have spent between a year and 18 months in country. They received their orders to redeploy so they could go home and at the last minute were extended. You don't think you'd be a little upset about having to stay after all that.

When are you joining Erudite? These military members have families just like you and I, and they would like to go home to see them. Some of the brave young men who are serving our country have newborn babies they haven't seen yet. Get a life loser!

Why are you such an Anti American @ss?

As a proud military member, it's only natural for us to fill our units with whining and complaining, schemeing to go home, etc. However, I think it is irresponsible for any troop who lets someone that is not a part of the military know about it. No one outside the services should know some military men don't like their job.
