[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1011516"][QUOTE="RyanPlegics:1011508"]Why do we need deadlines? Why not just do it?[/QUOTE] This is an important question. Aril brought up Vietnam before. However, our withdrawal from Vietnam was a disaster and a mess; now, Vietnam was a stupid strategic blunder from the beginning, which is the most imporant point, and we had to get out of there, but the way in which we did was also poorly executed. Look at Iraq right now; while violence has certainly not disappeared entirely, the slow and methodical withdrawal from the country is creating a stability level we didn't have as were rushing out of Vietnam. As anyone who has served in the past can tell you (including some very anti-war people, think the founder of dailykos, Markos Moulitsas), removing more than a brigade or two a month is simply not logistically feasible, unless you want a train wreck. Given all the vets who made that argument while still fervently opposing the Iraq War and wanting us out, I tend to think it's credible.[/QUOTE]
