Do the math. 12 manouver battalions and you can flush out 3-4 more battle groups from the gunners and engineers supported by the res. That is a maximum of 8 rotations based upon a combat brigade strength. That's a 6 year committement. And we've been in Afghanistan since 2001. No way we can do this without resending guys back over there.

And we want to send guys back over there. We need veteran eyes alot more than rookie mistakes.
