Maybe they can use the extras as sandbags? As a very quick follow-up to my post from a few days ago, I guess you do still hear about the troops in Afghanistan. WASHINGTON - U.S. troop morale improved in Iraq last year, but soldiers fighting in Afghanistan suffered more depression as violence there worsened, an Army mental health report says. And in a recurring theme for a force strained by its seventh year at war, the annual battlefield study found once again that soldiers on their third and fourth tours of duty had sharply greater rates of mental health problems than those on their first or second deployments, according to several officials familiar with the report. The fact that they seemed to be most concerned about how many shrinks to deploy in Afghanistan seems absurd to me. But then I'm just a left wing liberal nutcase, so what do I know? |
