Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
President Barack Obama says he will pull 30,000 troops out of Afghanistan by the end of next year. That will leave 100,000 troops and 130,000 private contractors still there.
When will the rest of the troops and the private contractors be pulled out? Simply bringing them home will not end the problems. Where are the jobs for these soon-to-be former soldiers and contractors? Or, will they all be re-deployed elsewhere to feed the gaping maw of the military industrial complex and their peons in Congress?
