#1 And how long have we been in Germany, Japan, South Korea?

If the Iranians are permitted to go nuclear, won't we have to be there as we were for the Germans as protection against a major [regional] power? Or did we just hang around because they were white folk? or would that be volk?

#2 The Army has changed the way it arranges troop rotations. Instead of sending a full complement of replacement forces each 12-month cycle, it is stretching out the rotation over two years

Among other things, this allows for the xfer of lessons learned. This is particularly important for the less-experienced national guard and reservists. I'm sure they are well trained ... it's the theater-specific details that help so much.

#3 4 years?

Big deal.

We're 60 and counting in Germany. What's our "exit strategy" there? :-(

Pfui.
