I was surprised by that ... people i know who are career military spent the last year sitting in various bases around the US (one of them got "deployed" to New Jersey, much to the distress of his wife and family in the midwest), and it's the reservists who went overseas. Doesn't make sense somehow. With all due respect to the excellent service provided by all in Iraq and Afghanistan, why send accountants, nurses, and school teachers when we have professional soldiers? Is the overall size of our military really reduced to that point where the reserves form the bulk of the services?
