Dear Bill Clinton,
For decades, Amercan defense policy was built on the principle that our military should be able to fight two full scale conflicts at once. This was not just to have a strong defense, but also because if you are engaged on one theater, and not able to handle a second theater, then tyrants will come out of the woodworks and take advantage of this situation.
You decided, in your typical double-speak, to reduce the capability of our military to 1 1/2 theaters of operation. What's 1/2 theater? Anyway, we've had to pray that N. Korea doesn't do anything that's even more stupid than what they usually do, and we've had to turn a blind eye at Iran because we're stretched way too thin to deal with them.
Our military is so spread out, that members of Congress are seriously debating the reinstatement of a draft.
Today, the AP reported, "The Army is preparing to notify about 5,600 retired and discharged soldiers who are not members of the National Guard or Reserve that they will be involuntarily recalled to active duty for possible service in Iraq or Afghanistan, Army officials said Tuesday."
Bill Clinton, this is your legacy.
May you be buried next to Neville Chamberlain when you leave this earth.
Sincerely,
A concerned citizen.
