No Shit, Sherlock!

Study: Army Stretched to Breaking Point - Yahoo! News

WASHINGTON - Stretched by frequent troop rotations to Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army has become a "thin green line" that could snap unless relief comes soon, according to a study for the Pentagon.

He also suggested that the Pentagon's decision, announced in December, to begin reducing the force in Iraq this year was driven in part by a realization that the Army was overextended.

How do you say, "I fucking told you so" in sign language?

Unfortunately, our troops are the ones getting fucked.
