David Isenberg. “The Costs of Empire”
Keep in mind that January saw the start of the U.S. military’s biggest unit rotation since World War II. According to Riggs, eight of the 10 active-duty Army divisions are now rotating in and out of Iraq, while one-third of the Army National Guard's combat battalions have been called to active duty. We do not have enough soldiers in the Army to provide for a reasonable rotation schedule of fresh troops into Iraq and for other missions, such as Afghanistan.
