      <![CDATA[Bull pucky.  Don't trust anything a recruiter says, period.  If things are going to be so great in just a few months, you can wait to sign up until then.  The Pentagon has been riding roughshod over the troops for too long, and the soldiers have been paying the price. <br />
<br />
That said, I am looking forward to seeing the positive changes the Obama Administration will bring.  Our troops deserve the best, and they've been getting the worst these past 8 years.

      <![CDATA[Charles, the end is most definitely not in sight.  We will be in Iraq for decades, at some force level and our actions over the past five years guarantee that countless (tens of?  hundreds of?) thousands more Iraqis will die sooner than they would if we'd not invaded.<br />
<br />
Iraq may still very well collapse into civil or international war, under internal pressures -- sect violence, ethnic warfare -- or under pressures from Iran, Russia, or other resource players in the area.<br />
<br />
The US will have some hand in everything that happens in Iraq for the next 50 years.  There is no end there.
