re: #368 ausador

BTW the military commanders are already whining about how they can’t put as many troops in there as fast as Obama wants them to. They have no staging area and everything pretty much has to be flown in. We will be lucky to see even the increase in troop levels that Obama called for within the next year much less more.

The military commanders have apparently said that they ideally need almost 3 months for each increase in the troop level of 3,000 soldiers. At that rate this would take almost three full years just to add the 34,000 troops Obama approved.

Got any links backing that up? I’m not arguing with it, I just might want to use it in argument in the future.
