When's The Next Big Troop Rotation?
I know that some units come and some go and that there is no precise date at which everyone changes chairs in George Bush's lethal game. However I remember sometime last year there came a time where a very large number of troops were going to rotate home, and of course be replaced by others, in a relatively short span of time. I would immagine they were the replacements for the first wave but it occurse to me that it might not be too long until they are in turn scheduled for replacement

I would have to think that the next time there is a large upswing of guys getting called up and regulars on their second or third tour that the families are not going to take it well.

So if there is a cycle, maybe based on tour of duty, how will that coincide with the election cycle?

1. From what I understand
1st Armored Division was supposed to be deployed around november or December,but they may push it back to August.That's 100,000 troops,give or take.My son is on his 2nd deployment(3rd,if you count Afghanistan),and words escape me to convey the fear,anger and betrayal I feel at the hands of these corporate sluts we call our leaders.
