Was just wondering if this is a dead thread since no one has posted in it in a while.
A question to ApolloVet though. In your initial post you stated that you thought we were focusing to much on combat ops and not enough on the restructuring campaign. Now after some of the posts that were made...
I think this was a really great read. The first 2 pages contain lessons that anyone deploying in theater should take to heart. Whether or not we want to classify the Afghanistan mission as a Counter-insurgency war I think is just semantics.

Somewhere in the post it was asked if a lot of guys coming back are ear-marked for trg schools. I don't know about a lot but there are people on the way home that have already been told they are getting posted out to schools. But even if the schools receive these guys there are still 2 really...
