Comment to my Clip: Russia's Cyberattack on Georgia

Just trying to get the word out. Because of the conflict between Russia and the Republic of Georgia we are getting hammered.

There can be no higher defense priority than the proper compensation, training, and equipping of our troops.

Our existing force is overstretched by the combination of military operations in the broader Middle East and the need to maintain our security commitments...

Our existing force is overstretched by the combination of military operations in the broader Middle East and the need to maintain our security commitments in Europe and Asia. Recruitment and retention suffer from extended overseas deployments that keep service personnel away from their homes and families for long periods of time.~John McCain
