Care to provide a citation from a valid source?

Under the Clinton regime the military troop strength was reduced by about
25%.

Under the reign of Bush it has increased.

LOL! 'Reign.' King Georgie, eh?

Increased or decreased troop levels are a far cry from 'fleeing.'

If you're going to lie or distort, why not just say so?

People join the military to fight.

What unit were you in?

I was with the 6th Fleet.

Navy or Marines?

If the Marines, 'Ooorah.'

If the Navy (aside from some corpsman and a few others that actually
get their boots dirty): pussy.

(And please provide a citation. I provided one already from the DoD
that shows this claim is inaccurate.)

????

Where is it?

About two posts up this thread. Here it is again. People join the
military for many reasons. Fighting is not generally one of them.
