I agree, but that only works for the draft. If one tour is sufficient (and anything else too many), then there would be no reason to have career soldiers and you would never have an experienced leader. End result would be more deaths not less.


>I met Marines who had five tours in Vietnam. They were crazy and I mean crazy! This multiple tour thing in Iraq is not good for our troops. One tour is too many.

>>I have a good buddy in the national guard. He was my roommate in college and best man at my wedding. Signed up for the national guard right out of high school, with another mutual friend of ours. They got called up and shipped out right away for a year and a half. Both were injured, both have Purple Hearts, both are back home now and probably expected to be called up again now. Kind of puts things in perspecive...
