my two cousins are going for their fourth tour in iraq. my first cousin and is son you are making a career out of the military. we need to get iraq taking care of their own country. we need to get into afganistand and get ban lauden who atacked us on 9-11. i like that if he is in pakistan that obama says he will go after him if pakistan won't help us get him something mccain critizes obama for i am with obama on this one.
We need the othere nations in NATO to pull their wieght. With notable exceptions the national contingents operating under the NATO banner have such restrivtive terms of service to almost be a liability. This needs to stop!
The UKGBNI forces currently have 53% (approx.) of our army deployed on oiperations in conflict zonmes globally so there is little more that we as a nation can do unless we overhall our recruitrment policies. One way of reduicing the overstretchof our Army is to employ more foriegn regiments such as more Gurkhas and Siekhs from the Punjabi and Bangladesh. These foriegn auxilleries will greatly reduce the overstretch on British foirces and also provide a valuable ecomnomic resource to those regions of the world from which they are recruited.
Similarly a new KAR (Kings Own African Rifles) should be recrtuited. One enducement to join that may be effective is the offer of citizenship after a number of years service with the colours.
