Since October of 2001 the US military has been conducting combat
operations in Afghanistan where close to 10,000 US troops are fighting in
Operation Enduring Freedom. On March 20, 2003, hundreds of thousands of US
soldiers invaded Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein and his alleged
stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction that constituted an imminent
threat . Operation Iraqi Freedom is the name of this current campaign that
in the single month of April of this year has resulted in over 100 US
soldiers killed in combat and over 1000 Iraqis killed. As the occupation
passes the one year mark, combat operations have slowly intensified to the
point where countries that have sent troops to Iraq are now pulling them
out. Thousands of US soldiers have been put on stop loss, thousands more
have had their one year tour of duty extended by 3 months, and at least
600 have gone AWOL. With ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and troops
stationed in over 130 countries, the US military appears to be in a
personnel crisis.
