DX251 - I say it this way as far as the numbers.. I can't break it down to the Thousands, let alone the hundreds or by what MOS or job skills went dow range. I not one within the Stratosphere of Starfleet. But I do know that the number GEN McChrystal asked for, did request, did not come the way he wanted to do "his style of warfare" for "HIS push" there. More people came forward to major base and not able to go forward to fight the enemy that he wanted to.

But this has been the same story for this country since the 80’s. So IMO nothing new SSDD!!

Be safe hunting!!
