Army Sends "Medically Unfit" Troops Back to Iraq to Meet Quotas

[Rohirrim]

Fort Carson sent soldiers who were not medically fit to war zones last month to meet "deployable strength" goals, according to e-mails obtained by The Denver Post.
One e-mail, written Jan. 3 by the surgeon for Fort Carson's 3rd Brigade Combat Team, says: "We have been having issues reaching deployable strength, and thus have been taking along some borderline soldiers who we would otherwise have left behind for continued treatment."

This is what the Roman army did in the later stages of their declining empire.

Incredible. :oyvey:

Another testament to the manner in which the non-elected pinhead has squandered our military power and resources - both human and fiscal - on a war of choice based on lies and bullsh*t.

Yes, but the surge is working. Never mind that it is destroying our military in the process.
