AmeriKan Assassinations Taking Their Toll

On the troops....

"US special forces show strain, says admiral" by Lolita C. Baldor, Associated Press / February 9, 2011

WASHINGTON — The elite troops of US special operations forces are showing signs of fraying after nearly 10 years at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, their commander said yesterday.

Admiral Eric T. Olson says that while the number of special operations forces has doubled to about 60,000 over the last nine years, the total of those deployed overseas has quadrupled. Roughly 6,500 special operators are in Afghanistan and about 3,500 are in Iraq, although those numbers can vary as units move in and out of the war zone.

Olson said the demand for the specialized units in Afghanistan is insatiable, forcing troops to deploy to war at a rate that is off the charts. And he said he does not see that demand declining in the next several years....

I do believe it is why we are hated.

Altogether, about 12,000 special operations forces are deployed, and those not in Iraq and Afghanistan are scattered in other hotspots around the globe, such as Yemen.

Olson said one sign of the strain is that more mid-grade forces are opting to leave service this year than in previous years.

But why? 

 As much as 60 percent of his force, he said, had joined in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks and believe they were part of something important for the last eight or nine years.

“But what seems good for eight or 10 years, maybe doesn’t seem as good looking ahead to 18 or 20 years,’’ Olson said.  

Translation: The LIES have WORN OFF!  

And DO NOT THINK for a MINUTE that ANOTHER FALSE FLAG will work, globe-kicking crazies!

While the force and their families have proven resilient, he said, leaders are now taking measures to address the emerging strains.

Officials, he said, are trying to increase training, make deployments more predictable, and stick to the schedules so there are fewer unexpected shifts.  

How about ENDING the ABOMINABLE WARS and BRINGING the TROOPS HOME for starters?
