I, for one, am glad that there is no real risk of having the 82nd Airborne steamrollered by Russian mechanized forces the way Hussein should have done in 1990. It surely sucks for the Ukrainians, but the Ukraine is just too far forward for us to project power without building up a very substantial logistical base locally. I can say confidently that this former 11B will not be reenlisting only to see his countrymen can change the channel once they get bored.
