Deja Vu
Army Wife has sibling company this week and the are playing a few games of Scrabble!
We both are treasuring the brief moments.
She is very concerned about General Blum's recent announcement of redeploying National Gaurd Brigades back to Iraq. The implications of this are significant.
General Blum's comments
Blum also said defense officials have been discussing whether they need to adjust their policy that limits the deployment of reserves in the war to 24 months.
"When that policy was originally formulated, I seriously doubt anyone thought we would be where we are today, at the level of commitment that is necessary today," he said.
Just last month, defense officials said the Marines are drawing up similar plans that, for the first time, would send some reserve combat battalions back to Iraq for a second tour.
Under the authority by which Bush ordered a call-up of the Guard and Reserve after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, troops could be mobilized an unlimited number of times as long as each mobilization is no longer than 24 consecutive months.
