This is specifically the Jack Murtha argument that says that the military, especially the Army, is overdeployed to the point that our ability to project power and/or respond to crises elsewhere in the world is compromised. Therefore, pulling out of Iraq would allow us to rebuild the military and preserve our long term military superiority.
