Couldn't resist the subject line. :D

 

Obama and Gates are ending the practice of extending tours beyond the service agreements promised to the troopers. I'm sure he's doing this because, as the right keeps telling us, Obama hates the troops and can't stand to support them in any way. :rolleyes:

 

"I felt particularly in these numbers that it was breaking faith" to keep soldiers in the service after their end date comes up, Gates said. "To hold them against their will is just not the right thing to do," he said at a Pentagon press conference.

Sadly, I'm sure they'll find a way to spin it that way. Or rather, several different ways, in the (probably justified) hopes that something sticks. An underhanded attempt to weaken the military? It was really all [Republican Bush appointee] Gates' idea? Something with Bill Ayers, maybe?

 

Great news for those deployed, though! We could definitely use the good feeling.
