Wtf? Man, do you know anything about how DoD really works? You couldn't get those troops out in weeks if you tried. Do you have any idea how much hardware is there over these years? How about the fact that every DoD civilian & contractor better be pulled first as they would be 'slaughtered' following a troop withdrawal. Not to mention you can kiss our multi-million dollar embassy we've started building good-bye.

You can't get a server through DoD without about 2 weeks of paperwork. Or how much paperwork is involved in simply moving a contractor on task in Iraq? Do you know how long it takes to plan a troop deployment or plane/ship exercises....these take months of prep/planning before execution. It is not like you just through 160,000 guys on some planes and say bye-bye.


Unless of course you'd like to see more Vietnam-style civilian extractions from rooftops via military choppers.....
