Pentagon Tells 35,000 Troops: Prepare To Deploy

Submitted by Erin Pruneda, May 9, 2007 10:22

My husband has already done 3 combat tours to Afghanistan and Iraq since 2002. When is enough going to be enough? We just came down on orders, to where else, but Baumholder Germany, just in time for him to deploy yet again! Wow, what a surprise!!!! I just cant wait for my children to be fatherless for 15 more months!!! And wonder again, if my husband is going to make it home alive....this is just nonsense. I understand that Bush wants to save face, but he's lost every ounce of respect from the American people, and I will never vote for another Republican even if I had to! My husband, a soldier for 8 years, with a stellar military career, who initially wanted to retire from the military, has now chosen to get out when this tour is over. He will then struggle to find work, provide for us and probably work some menial job as a security officer. The pride of being an American solider went out the window a long time ago. I'd like to thank Mr Bush for taking everything that is precious away from our family. Most of all, my husband's dignity.
