Dear Mr. President

Ok, so our Commander in Chief is getting a lot of hassle from those on both sides of the Iraqi war. He agreed to pull all COMBAT units out of Iraq by the end of August.
He's following a timeline set by former President Bush etc, etc...

When someone not affilitated with the Army reads that he is pulling out all combat units, they believe that this is to mean, no more American Forces in Iraq.
Um....no.
The military is made up of several branches. Each of these branches of the military are made up of different units all sustaining a different MOS (job).

Some are combat, some are not.

Now, was he truthful in his statement of bringing home all combat units? Well....
The only thing I will say about this, is because you are not necessarily considered a "combat" unit doesn't mean you aren't. Those specialized units, troops, groups etc.. such as Special Forces, Navy Seals are remaining in Iraq at this time, and more are scheduled within the next few months.

There will be some who say well he is sending XYZ combat unit, in November. Yes, that may be true. But their capacity will not (?) be that of a combat situation.

People forget when reading the headlines, watching CNN, and local news sources, that the man is a Politician. Not only that but he is an Attorney. He made a living speaking in semantics. You have to learn to read between the lines. Its not just what he's saying, but what he's not.

With that being said, he is our Commander in Chief. You may not respect the man, but respect the title. I am not an Obama supporter. But I do support this country. He is the man leading it, therefore I will respect him the best of my ability.

Just because one has the Freedom of Speech, doesn't mean you should abuse that freedom.
