troops are coming 'home'
Elements of the 1st Infantry division (the "Big Red One") are coming back to Germany, on schedule. What's interesting to me is that they were in Iraq longer than they thought, but still within the 12-13 month timeframe that is usual. Some others are not so lucky, they've been there 15 months or so. But hopefully we'll start to draw down forces and keep them down, until the Iraqis can take over in a few years. The mission is getting done, despite the costs.

Dr B (mail):Yes, and like Germany and Italy, we will prob have a "base" there for an even longer period of time.
