@Jeffrey S Many have asked where we were when Bush was in office. Most thankfully we owe our existence to the Obama stimulus funds.

Are you people willfully ignorant? Troop levels have doubled since Obama took office. Now they’re slated to rise by half again by another 30K. Where were you when Bush was in office?

MY name is Debbie and my son is a member in the 5th Stryker Brigade 1-17 ID fighting in Afghanistan. I can’t just sit here any longer while the extra troops they need are being pushed on the back burner. I created a YouTube video and I hope you can help by watching it and passing it along. We need to keep our Soldiers in the forefront and I don’t know how else to help them. Please help me and view this video immediately and pass it on. This comes straight from the heart of the mother of an American Soldier. Here is a link to the video.

Apparently this counter is getting under the skin of leftists. Check out the comment by Jeremy Kotkin in the comments section on this page: http://smallwarsjournal.com/blog/2009/09/more-forces-or-mission-failure/

Nice little widget – I’ve got it on my blog. Take a look – a narrow, white-on-black version would look nice, don’t you think?

@Eric We made a new version for you. Let us know if you or anyone else needs some modifications or if you have other issues. Thanks for posting it. We have to stand up for our troops.

Love it! But could you make the widget a little smaller? It over runs the sidebar in my blog template, and the text-only version has odd highlighting making it hard to read.

If you could come up with a slightly smaller version of the full widget (maybe 200 pixels wide), that’d be awesome!
