They probably figured they needed someplace new to house the overflow of all those do-nothing (I mean, waiting-for-command-position) O-5's and 6's that have been hot-bunking over in Bahgram all these years. I never saw so many field-grades in one place. You'd have thought that with all those war college geniuses just sitting around soaking up oxygen, they'd have figured out how to close the Trashcanistan campaign a long time ago.
