Reorganizing On The Run
2008-12-30
December 30, 2008: Despite major combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. Army is going through a major reorganization. The end result will increase the number of combat brigades from 33 to 43.

#3  This transformation to a more modular brigade approach where brigades could be mixed/matched according to mission requirements is one thing Rumsfeld got right.

#2  Joe, the current fiscal problems have little or nothing to do with the military budget and everything to do with Congressional budgets and policy's w/r housing and loans to unqualified borrowers. The rest of the problems (including the greed) rests on that foundation.

There has been more than 5 years of Iraq funding spent on "Bailout" in the last 3 months. Anyone trying to connect the fiscal breakdown on Iraq is blowing smoke (a lot of smoke).
