Are extra-green troops going to Iraq?

According to this story, some of the troops headed for Iraq have been forced to skip training specifically tailored to the Iraq experience.

This sort of thing probably wouldn't happen if the U.S. military wasn't stretched so thin. And it wouldn't be so thin if all the military-age bloggers and like-minded folks who support this war and Bush's new surge would sign up for duty in Iraq.

Or, in the case of the war hawks who are too old, perhaps they could talk their sons or daughters into putting their butts on the line (although probably without benefit of all the proper training).

What d'ya say? Huh?

(Cue the crickets.)
